Volunteers are our most valuable resource at the State Arboretum. We are currently looking for enthusiastic volunteers for our weekly garden and native plant trail crews, as well as events that occur periodically throughout the year. All volunteers must be at least 18 years old and covered by a health insurance plan for the duration of their service.
Volunteers Needed for Upcoming Events
Ginkgo Gold Weekends
Join in the fun as our 300-tree Gingko Grove shows off its golden splendor. Volunteer for Ginkgo Gold Weekends. It takes a lot of volunteers to manage the many visiotrs who come to Blandy to enjoy the glourious golden ginkgoes. We hope you can help!
The Gardens
Weekly volunteer sessions for the perennial gardens occur on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 am to 12 pm starting in April and running through October. During these recurring sessions, you will have the opportunity to work directly with the arboretum’s Assistant Curator of Herbaceous Plants, Carrie Whitacre and other volunteers while taking care of various garden spaces throughout Blandy.
The Native Plant Trail
Throughout the growing season we host regular native plant trail volunteer sessions on Wednesdays from 9 am to 12 pm. During these recurring sessions, you will have the opportunity to work directly with the arboretum’s Assistant Curator of the Native Plant Trail, Jack Monsted, other volunteers in the Woodland, Meadow, and Wetland.
