Volunteers needed who love working with children and the outdoors

Lead fun, interactive and educational garden walks for school groups.

This is a great opportunity to give children (K–5) positive experiences with nature and encourage enthusiasm about the natural world. No previous horticultural or teaching experience is required, just an interest in learning and an eagerness to show and teach children about the wonders of the plant world. At only $75 this is an affordable and enjoyable way to learn about plants and meet new people.

The weekday training sessions will provide participants with successful techniques for interacting with children and creating engaging tours about the Garden and its collections. New volunteers will learn basic ecology and botany along with techniques for engaging children outdoors through an exciting mix of hands-on classroom time, walk observation, and practice.
