Plan to awaken your senses by volunteering for Massachusetts Horticultural Society at Paragon's Boston Flower & Garden Show in March! It's a fun way to see the Show behind the scenes, support Mass Hort's environmental mission, and meet others that share a passion for plants.
Special events like the Flower Show allow Mass Hort to connect with budding horticulturalists, floral designers, green enthusiasts and those just happy to dream of their gardens in the middle of winter. We aim to inspire, educate, and connect visitors to our environmental mission and encourage them to join our community and support our mission through membership to Mass Hort.
We need helpers to build our exhibits and competitions the weekend before the Show, sell memberships, be an ambassador for Mass Hort, and guard the plants, among other tasks.
Set-up dates: March 6- 10th
Show dates: March 11 - 16th
