    Description

    Holiday Light Stringer

    Great opportunity for groups! During the holiday season, the Cleveland Botanical Garden will become an ice-capped experience with FROST, the winter show. To prepare for the show, volunteers can assist in stringing lights in the outdoor gardens on the upper level, such as the terrace, alee, restorative, topiary, and rose gardens, and on cut trees. Volunteers must be able to stand for long periods of time, reach and bend, and get on a small step ladder. All tools will be provided, along with instructions.

    We are looking for groups of 4-12 volunteers that can spend 3-4 hours helping with holiday lights. Work can be done from mid-September until the end of October, and Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays are preferred. We can work with your group on selecting a specific date and time.

    Volunteer groups receive free parking in the Botanical Garden parking garage, plus they can visit the Botanical Garden before or after their shift during open hours.

    Private Group Details:

    • Group Size Range: 5 - 10
    • Event can be held at organization location(s)
    • Donation Requested
