    How to Volunteer for This Opportunity

    Hello!

    As a member of the NGC, you’ll help keep our garden thriving while connecting with visitors through a shared love of plants.

    In partnership with Forever Balboa Park, we’ve designed a four-week training course beginning in mid-May, with sessions available on Tuesdays or Saturdays to fit busy schedules. The program includes expert-led instruction, hands-on experience with native plants, practical garden maintenance skills, and strategies for engaging with the public.

    If this sounds like a good fit, you can sign up for an interview slot here.
