Let's start thinking about Spring and getting in the gardens! : ) The Ordway Gardens and the Charlotte Partridge Ordway Japanese Garden are popular destinations for visitors who seek to experience the art form of Como’s Bonsai collections and the beauty of nature in the quiet of the gardens. Volunteers are trained about the key elements and tradition of Japanese gardens and then share these insights with visitors young and old. Volunteers with an interest in Japanese culture, public education and the cultural gardens are a great match for this opportunity.
Como provides the information and resources to prepare for this exciting volunteer position. A new volunteer orientation and completion of the Ordway Gardens online interpreter training are required before start.
Volunteers are asked to commit to a minimum of two, three hour shifts (10am-1pm or 1pm-4pm) per month during the spring through fall season.
