Here at Kalmia Gardens, there are numerous volunteer opportunities that allow community members an opportunity to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature while making a meaningful impact. Whether it’s tending to the garden, or educating guests of all ages, volunteers play a vital role in enhancing the visitor experience and promoting environmental awareness. Being a volunteer at Kalmia Gardens not only fosters a connection with the natural world, but also provides a unique opportunity to learn from horticultural professionals and fellow nature enthusiasts. To become a part our volunteer team, please complete the Volunteer Application below, or by downloading and completing it HERE.
After you have submitted your application, you will be contacted by a member of our staff to discuss your application and to complete and return a Volunteer Liability Release form. All Kalmia Gardens’ volunteers must complete a Volunteer Orientation session (typically held seasonally), and complete a Volunteer Mentorship session before they can begin in a volunteer role.
*Note: Completion of a Volunteer Orientation session and Volunteer Mentorship session only apply to Kalmia Gardens’ volunteers. Greenhouse-only volunteers are exempt from these sessions.
