Join Our Horticulture Team!
Help maintain and enhance the beauty of our gardens and grounds all year long—spring, summer, fall, and even winter! Volunteer indoors or outdoors alongside our horticulturists to support the care and upkeep of our landscape. Tasks vary by session and may include weeding, mulching, watering, and more.
Ground Force Sessions:
Thursdays
10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Saturdays
What to Bring & Wear:
Long pants, long socks, and sturdy closed-toe shoes
Insect repellent, sunscreen, and a refillable water bottle
Rain gear if light rain is expected—we work in drizzle!
Registration is required to receive updates in case of cancellations or schedule changes. Please register at least 24 hours before each session.
We will supply gloves as well as all other tools and materials. For your safety, all tools and gloves are washed and sanitized. Please meet at the barn in our parking lot. If the session is cancelled due to inclement weather or any other reason, we will contact you. First-time volunteers must bring a completed Volunteer Waiver form to their first volunteer session.
