Georgeson Botanical Garden seeks volunteers

Volunteers can get their hands in the dirt at the Georgeson Botanical Garden...or not. There are a variety of skills needed.
In order for the Georgeson Botanical Garden to continue to change and grow, volunteers are needed to help. The garden depends on the community of volunteers and members in order to make positive advancements. Two new subcommittees, focused on membership and fundraising, are being created to accomplish long and short term goals for the garden.

There is also a need for skilled people to assist with construction projects that are currently underway. There are a variety of volunteer opportunities available at the GBG. Volunteers have the opportunity to gain new skills and experience as well as become part of a larger community of people who share similar interests. Consider joining one of the following groups:

The membership subcommittee will work on increasing membership and review current membership benifits in order to assure that the Georgeson Botanical Garden Society is providing resources and opportunities that are valuable to members.

The fundraising subcommittee will explore the best and most efficient paths to increase fundraising. The committee will review current GBGS events and explore the feasibility of additional events and fundraising campaigns.

Garden construction workers with experience in carpentry, masonry, or construction are often needed to complete projects in the garden.

Contact Katie diCristina if interested in helping.
