Volunteers and Board Members
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
