Shakespeare & Company: Gardeners

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Shakespeare & Volunteer Company

  • 1 person is interested

Shakespeare & Company, a highly-respected theater company in Lenox, MA in the heart of the Berkshires, seeks volunteer gardeners to maintain plantings located in high-visibility areas on the Company's campus.

The job involves digging, pulling weeds, and replacing plantings, so volunteers should dress appropriately for this kind of physical work. Our gardeners are a great group of people and generally meet each Monday morning at 9am. If there is inclement weather, gardeners can come as a group or on their own another day of the week of their choosing.

Volunteers earn a voucher toward a free ticket to Shakespeare & Company performances for every two hours of gardening work.
