Volunteers are essential to the success of this revered Arboretum. The Arboretum will hold its popular classes beginning January 8th and for the next 5 consecutive Tuesdays from 9:30 a.m. to noon. Attendance at all classes is encouraged but not required.The classes presented by Arboretum curators, staff, and volunteers provide an overview of the programs, projects, people and history of the Arboretum as well as an introduction to botany, horticulture, conservation, and propagation. Garden tours and viewing behind-the-scenes operations are part of every class.

Volunteer opportunities include gardening and weeding, nursery work, Norrie’s Gift Shop, plant sales, Meet and Greet, fundraising events, and docent training for leading tours.Meet great people of all ages and backgrounds, work in the beautiful gardens among world class collections, and support an important community treasure.
