  Docents & Volunteers

~ 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 Board.

 

~ VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS

SPECIAL EVENTS - The garden is the location for cultural events and civic gatherings. Volunteers are needed for all areas of our program. This is the perfect volunteer opportunity for someone with a busy schedule.

DOCENTS - Join our team of Docents that inform the public about our Japanese Garden and the water reclamation process.

GIFT SHOP - The gift shop is operated by the volunteers. We need motivated staff for weekdays and weekends. Previous sales experience is desired but not necessary.

TEA SERVICE - Tea Service (tea and cookie) is provided to the public for a small fee at special events and on most Sundays in our Shoin building. This is a unique opportunity for the public to enjoy the tranquility of the garden.
