Gardening

Don't have a plot to putter around in? Come work in ours. Learn some new techniques or hone your gardening skills. Work at a variety of tasks such as planting, watering and pruning -- independently or with the garden staff.

Tawes Garden Gift Shop

If you prefer the indoors, consider becoming a shop keeper, working a two hour shift in our gift shop. Handle sales transactions, provide customer assistance and assist with merchandise restocking. Enjoy pleasant surroundings, on-the-job training and free parking.

Volunteer Service and Eagle Scout Projects

Complete required hours by working on garden maintenance, or work with the garden staff to identify and develop a project from conception to completion.

Volunteers are invited to an annual luncheon in appreciation for their accumulated hours of service to the garden.
