Come have a new experience with us and learn all about our gardens and animals! We need volunteers to guide guests through the different areas of our unique, beautiful and peacful Botanical Garden and Animal Sanctuary
Animal guides will aquire knowledge about our different animals such as Josh, our 600 pound black bear. They will tell guests in a friendly manner about the magnificent animals we have and why they're here.
Aviary guides will walk through our aviary and tell the guests about our many different birds. We have a Birds of Prey walk with various kinds of owls and hawks.
Garden guides are trained about our different plants and trees. You will show our guests our many Champion trees (largest of their kind in Florida) and help them find their way.
So come out to our gardens and start contributing today! Meet people from all over the world and become one of our wonderful volunteers.
