Thank you for your interest in volunteering at Planting Fields! Our volunteers play a vital role in helping us care for this extraordinary landscape and welcome visitors throughout the seasons.

At this time, we are not accepting new volunteer applications. When opportunities become available, we will update this page and share announcements through our social media channels and e-newsletters.

We’re grateful for your interest in being part of the Planting Fields community and hope you’ll check back soon!

Volunteers at Planting Fields help to maintain our grounds and gardens and support visitors whether it’s their first or one hundredth visit. Planting Fields is dedicated to providing volunteers with strong training, continuing education opportunities, and invitations to a variety of events and celebrations. Join the Planting Fields Foundation team!
