The
Horticulture Services Division (HSD) was created in 1972 to oversee
and maintain increasingly complex grounds and planting beds around
the Smithsonian Institution's museums in Washington D.C. Over
the years, volunteers have played an important and necessary role
in the success of our Division. We would like to take this opportunity
to invite you to apply as a volunteer.
