Volunteer With Us

Join the Master Gardener Program

See Becoming a Master Gardener for information about the process and the requirements.

Community Volunteers

You don't have to become a Master Gardener to work with us. Community volunteers are welcome in our demo gardens. The best way to get started:

  • Check out our list of demonstration gardens.
  • Select a garden near you with hours that fit your schedule.
  • Then visit the garden to make a connection. Find a Master Gardener on-site, and let them know you're interested in helping out. They'll help you understand and sign the Elective/Voluntary Activity Waiver form.
