hs_workdayVolunteering in the Botanical Gardens is a fun and fulfilling way to get to know the Botanical Gardens better. There are as many ways to become involved as there are personalities. Helping with our educational outreach is an opportunity for getting to know visitors by giving tours or assisting our Horticulturalist with special workshops. Helping us plant our Spring annual color is a way to get down in the dirt with the plants. Becoming a committee member for one of our fundraisers runs the gamut from lending us a hand to showing off your organizational skills. Artists may prefer to photograph the gardens and submit their best to our annual fall photo contest. Call us at 530-235-4740 or write to [email protected] to tell us what activities you would like to help with.
