The
volunteer program is divided into two categories; docents who
conduct the tours explain history, mythology and symbolism and
who lead the standard and summer evening tours and support special
events. The volunteers for the gift shop support events at the
garden and staff the gift shop. There is a Chair and a Vice Chair
who conduct monthly meetings. Both volunteers and docents support
events such as the Springtime and Autumn events (supported by
all entities; staff, advisory, volunteers). The docents/volunteers
also enjoy potlucks, they tour other facilities, and attend a
yearly docent recognition event.
The
gift shop manager manages the gift shop operations, oversees the
purchasing: etc. The docent and volunteer programs provide personnel
resources to implement these programs as prescribed by the Advisory
