Horticulture volunteers work hand-in-hand with our
horticulture department, contributing to essential gardening tasks such as
weeding, planting, soil preparation, and overall garden care. Your efforts
directly enhance the beauty and vitality of Powell Gardens, making every visit
unforgettable for our guests.
Help bring our beautiful hanging baskets to life by joining the Foliage Basket Crew! Volunteers will assist our greenhouse team with seasonal production plantings, helping prepare the hanging baskets that will be enjoyed throughout Powell Gardens.
Tasks may include filling and planting hanging baskets, taking and propagating cuttings, moving baskets, routine maintenance, and tagging finished plants. This is a great opportunity for anyone who enjoys hands-on gardening and wants to learn more about greenhouse production.
