Volunteering

Longwood Gardens promotes a culture of learning, collaboration, and family … and our volunteers are a vital part of the Longwood family.

Our volunteers contribute to the beauty of the Gardens, the success of our programs, and the enjoyment and experience of our guests, all while learning new skills, gaining experience, and having fun while working alongside staff, students, and volunteer colleagues. While beauty is the heart of Longwood … our people are the soul of this place.
