Get festive with us!
We need volunteers to help us string the lights, hang wreaths and garland and decorate the gardens for the Festival of Trees, Mass Hort's largest fundraiser. Help Dan Brooks, our Director of Operations, decorate the grounds, the outside of the historic Hunnewell Carriage House, Victorian Lodge, Manor House, and other buildings for our visitors to enjoy as they stroll the gardens or enjoy a horse-drawn carriage ride during the Festival. Get outside and enjoy the gardens in the fall and help us make the Festival of Trees a huge success!
