Please visit the new page to apply.
Calling all green-thumbed teens! If you love to garden and are looking to spend your summer vacation in a beautiful botanical garden, volunteer for Yew Dell! Our beloved Horticulture program is on the lookout for creative, energetic, nature-loving teen volunteers. You will work alongside our Garden Manager, Sayde Heckman, and Horticulture Apprentices. This is a great way to learn- all while having fun in the dirt.
Tasks include: planting, mulching, watering, weeding, harvesting and drying flowers, research, and more!
If you have a heart to make the world a better place, loves nature and do not mind a little dirt under your nails or mud on your boots, this is the opportunity for you!
*Teen Garden volunteers can select the days they work but must volunteer at least 3 hours a week June through August. Teens may miss no more than two weeks in the summer due to family vacations, camps, etc.
