Hang out in the tropics year-round!

Reiman Gardens is currently recruiting for a new volunteer position: Conservatory Docent

Are you into tropical plants? Do you enjoy interacting with people and teaching others? Our new Conservatory Docent volunteer position might be the perfect opportunity for you!

Conservatory Docents will become familiar with the tropical plants around the perimeter of the Conservatory, such as the fishtail palm and Angel's Trumpet. Docents will discover how the seasonal center displays are designed and created from our horticulture staff. Docents will get a behind-the-scenes look at how the temperature and humidity levels are controlled. And, during the holiday season, Conservatory Docents will learn how to operate the RG Holiday Express train.

The Conservatory Docent position has a lot of similarities with our Butterfly Wing Docent position, but volunteers won't need to worry about butterflies escaping! Conservatory Docents will greet visitors to the Hughes Conservatory, share information about the plants and current center display, and be available for questions.

No plant or train knowledge is necessary to get started!
