Become a Volunteer at beautiful Leu Gardens! 

A botanical garden is a living museum made up of a collection of plants that are managed for the purposes of conservation, display, research, and education. The garden is a living classroom where old and young alike can learn about their environment. It is a cultural institution that offers significant social and economics benefits. 

Leu Gardens is also a collection of people who share an interest in advancing our mission. A vital component of our “human resources” are our volunteers! Opportunities exist in a variety of areas—based on an individual’s interests, abilities and schedule. Volunteering is a fantastic social interaction, and volunteering at Leu Gardens puts you in a beautiful surrounding when meeting new friends.

Volunteer Opportunities

Horticulture—Dig in, literally, by helping staff members with general maintenance, weeding, pruning, and re-potting. Curators take specific collections under their wing to cultivate and improve. 

Garden Guides—As a guide, serve as an interpreter for outdoor plant exhibits. Lead school groups, local clubs and organizations through the Gardens. 

House Guides—Relay the history of the Leu House and grounds leading a tour through the Leu House Museum. 

Garden House—Be in the place to meet everyone who visits the Gardens: the main entrance, reception area, library, or garden gift shop. Answer phones, welcome visitors, provide general information about the Gardens, receive and process guest purchases. 

Special Events and Publicity—Help with fundraisers, Member’s Days, and other special events. Public relations, marketing and promotional assistance are always needed!
