Garden and Greenhouse Volunteering
Assist in all aspects of horticulture from plant production to landscape installation and maintenance. This is definitely a “Learn as you Grow” opportunity!
Greenhouse Volunteers
Meet some of our amazing volunteers and hear about their favorite greenhouse jobs and the hours they donate...
Roseann Ferguson
It's really difficult to decide what is my "favorite" job -- it's all great fun! However, if I had to list just one, it would be making cuttings.

I try to work 8-12 hours a week.
Richard Janick
I most like transferring the plant cuttings from the seed flats to the 4" containers. It is neat to see how much root growth they have achieved in such a short time. Also, to know that you are "stepping them up" for continued growth and helping the plant along at a critical time for them.

I work about 9 - 10 hours/week. It is a very relaxing environment - Good for the spirit.
Tig Thompson
Everything except washing pots!

Probably average 8 hours/month.
