Plant knowledge & grow lasting change!

 

​The Ethnobotanical Garden is a vibrant community hub where nature, learning and conservation come together. As a volunteer, you’ll help inspire visitors to appreciate the beauty and value of plants, insects and birds, while encouraging them to take action for the environment. From guided tours and hands-on workshops to caring for plant collections and supporting research, every day offers a chance to learn something new and share it with others. Whether you love gardening, wildlife, education or community events, this is a rewarding place to make a real difference while enjoying the outdoors and connecting with like-minded people.
