Meet the Volunteers
I've met some wonderful people who share a love of horticulture, became re-acquainted with folks I haven't seen for years, and the most amazing thing has been watching young children discover the world of plants and gardening."

Become a Volunteer
We're always happy to welcome new volunteers into our group. If you have a love of nature, people and plants we'd love to hear from you.

The Harriet Irving Botanical Garden’s
volunteer program, the Green Team, allows community
members to get involved with the happenings of
the Gardens and Acadia University as a whole.
Our enthusiastic volunteers participate in all
kinds of different projects. They seed, weed,
plant, research propagation methods for native
species, and help record general garden observations
and PlantWatch data. Volunteers propagate new plants,
work in the greenhouses watering and repotting
the indoor collections. They give tours of the
Gardens, collect seeds, and work at public events
ranging from Orchid Society shows to Natural Wreath
Making Workshops.
The volunteers don’t spend all of their
time at the Gardens. They also go on field trips
to natural Acadian Forest Region Habitats. Volunteers also generously
contribute plants to the Medicinal and Food Collection
through plant collecting and donations from their
own gardens.
