Smithsonian Gardens offers rewarding volunteer opportunities for individuals interested in horticulture, plants, and public engagement. Volunteers play a crucial role in maintaining the gardens, supporting educational programs, and assisting with greenhouse operations.

Smithsonian Gardens Volunteer Program

Smithsonian Gardens depends on dedicated volunteers to care for its diverse plant collections and enhance the visitor experience. Volunteers contribute in several ways, including garden maintenance, greenhouse assistance, and educational outreach. Their efforts help visitors learn about sustainable gardening practices and the importance of biodiversity.

When Smithsonian Gardens volunteer opportunities are available, they are posted on the Smithsonian Volunteer website with a link to an online application.
