VOLUNTEER

YEAR-ROUND OPPORTUNITIES

 GUEST SERVICES ATTENDANT
Be a guest services attendant to work any portion of 9:30 AM – 5:00 PM. Greet guests, operate a very basic register and help guests in The Garden Store. Bring your smiling face, helpful attitude and your hometown knowledge of the QC to help visitors from out of town explore our area.

GARDEN AND GREEN HOUSE
Work with our gardeners mulching, planting, working in the green house, the children’s garden and our tropical  sun garden. Usually 8 AM - 5PM for a few hours.

EDUCATION
Lead a story time, provide help during a craft activity or get involved with other educational activities and programs. Weekend and weekday opportunities for retired teachers, students looking for service hours or those who just enjoy spending time with children.

Community volunteers are critical to the success of our gardens. Have you been feeling the urge to give more and do more in your community? We would love to utilize your skills in the gardens!

Would you rather help set up for special events or work in The Garden Store? Willing to share your botanical or educational expertise by giving tours? Get involved and plant yourself here!

Children are excellent volunteers, and we love their help. Teenaged children can volunteer for special events or help lead crafts and activities. Younger children can help in the gardens with adult supervision.  Including children when volunteering as a guest services representative or educator is discouraged because of the specificity of the work.

Have questions or need to schedule a larger volunteer group? Contact Lisa Ament at 309.794.0991 ext. 203.
