We need volunteers to help in the afternoons on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday to help in the TPF bookstore and front office.
For fast-paced, exciting work where you can learn a lot from interacting with customers...this volunteer opportunity is for you! Vastly increase and deepen and broaden your knowledge of native plants and store operations. You'll work closely with staff and experienced volunteers to answer questions about how to begin and maintain native gardens, native plant books, and seeds.If you're detail oriented, good with spreadsheets and enjoy data entry, there's opportunities for you too.
It doesn't end there! Once we get to know you, there are other opportunities where volunteers are needed. After you gather some experience at TPF, volunteers can then assist with visiting school groups, work on native plant-related community projects and attend outreach events with staff!
