Hey there, Myriad Botanical Garden Volunteers!

It's officially springtime here at Myriad Botanical Gardens and if you haven't made your way to the Gardens then the weekends are the perfect time to come. This April we had Tulip Festival, and it was perfect weather, and we are glad the community enjoyed it.

We have many Thank Yous to give out to all the volunteers who have been helping with events in March and who continue to support the Gardens. We also are highlighting one of our staff members so you can get to know them, this month our staff member highlight is Nathan Tschaenn.

These upcoming months are a great time to get your volunteer hours in and everything is posted on VolunteerHub, also please don't hesitate to reach out to Morgan Link with any questions!

Warmest regards,

Morgan Link

Tulip Festival

Thank you to all the volunteers who helped make Tulip Festival amazing this year! We had a total of 39 volunteers for the weekend who worked hard to ensure that everything ran smoothly. Volunteers are the reason we are able to put on these types of festival events and they always represent the Gardens well!

Horticulture

Myriad Botanical Gardens is seeking volunteers to help keep the Gardens looking beautiful by planting, weeding, watering, and trimming. You will be working under the supervision of the Horticulture Team. This is a great opportunity for a new gardener or an experienced gardener to get out and learn new skills and about all the plants we home here at the Gardens!

When pulling tulips, you will get to bring those tulips home with you if you choose to. We ask that everyone respects the Gardens and please only pull if you have signed up.
