Volunteer Opportunities at Elizabethan Gardens — Get Involved

How Does Our Garden Grow? Through Volunteers of Course!

Elizabethan Gardens welcomes volunteers with every range of ability and interest. You might partner with the horticulture staff to strengthen your gardening skills or share knowledge of your own.

Another option is working in the nursery/plant sales area, where volunteers help care for plants and teach others more about gardening. Behind-the-scenes opportunities include preparing mailings, assisting with special-event preparations, joining a planning committee, soliciting donations, and supporting seasonal events.

Volunteers are also welcome in the Gatehouse and Gift Shop, where they greet guests, check-in stock, and respond to plenty of questions. Families can volunteer together as well.

The Volunteer Events Page may offer an opportunity that appeals to you. You can also complete the form below so the team can contact you about a role aligned with your interests.
