Why should you volunteer?

Volunteers get to work with very nice people and learn while getting good healthy exercise.

Volunteers are invited to a volunteer appreciation dessert where we have a slide show and talk about plants from somewhere special in the world. The topic varies with the travel locations of staff and members.

After 10 hours volunteers become volunteer members. They have full membrship advantages and then some. Volunteer members are allowed to pick berries, transplant perennials and take a few home, even pick a few annual flowers on special occasions.

Volunteer members are invited to the spring plant sale before anyone else. They also get 10 % off for every 10 hours they have worked up to 50% off. So, 10 volunteer hours gets10% off, 20 volunteer hours, 20% off, and so on.

Volunteer members get 20% off at the end of season sale in the gift shop.

Volunteer members get 20% off at the Christmas sale held in Wood Center in mid December.
