Gardening Volunteer

Save to Favorites

The primary role of Gardening Volunteers is to maintain the beauty of RoHoEn. Japanese Gardens are unique and require special care. Most of our gardening volunteers start with little experience. Gardening Volunteers learn and apply techniques of traditional Japanese Gardeners.

Volunteers will perform basic garden care such as managing weed control and leaf raking. As you train under our Niwashi (Garden Curator), you may be asked to work on more advanced projects such as building bamboo fences, planting and nurturing new trees, flowers, and various plants, working with various gardening tools such as electric trimmers and other traditional Japanese hand tools.

Volunteer Gardening begins Saturdays from 7:00 am and will continue till 9:00 am.

Here are the instructions:

1. Please wear closed-toed shoes and weather-appropriate clothing.

2. Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated.

3. We provide gloves and tools.
