Botanic Garden - Volunteers

There is a lively group of volunteers who make an important contribution to the Garden. While some donate a few hours each month, other volunteers are in the Garden weekly.

Volunteers help in many different ways. Their time and effort ranges from planting and pruning to leading guided tours. People from all over the world come to volunteer for a day or several months.
