The Dominguez Rancho Adobe Museum has three major gardens that are visited by approximately 5000 patrons each year. This includes the Rose Garden dating back to the 1930s, the Cactus Garden dating back to the 1970s, and the soon to open Children's Garden. We are seeking volunteers to assist with caring for plants, clearing debris, pruning overgrown vegetation, trail maintenance, and weeding. We provide tools, bags, and refreshments. Garden volunteers are welcome to bring their own equipment.
Please note: Garden volunteers will be trained by our head gardener, who is also a volunteer and only works Monday and Wednesday mornings. Garden volunteers must shadow with him before being allowed to work independently on different days, including Saturdays. Garden volunteers must be over the age of 18.
Garden volunteers are encouraged to attend and get involved in related museum programs including our annual Rose Pruning Workshop and June Bloom public garden tours.
Dominguez Rancho Adobe Museum volunteers receive a 10% discount in the museum giftshop and are invited to our Winter and Summer Volunteer Luncheon.

Mission Statement
To foster community awareness of early California history, culture, and heritage and the Dominguez family through museum programs and educational resources.
Description
We work will all sorts of volunteers serving many goals on the site. We have two main needs at all times that require volunteers. First, we always seek to recruit docent volunteers to lead tours for the public and schools, help at our various public events throughout the year, and join helpful committees to help us serve the community. The second need we have is for gardening volunteers. We have three major gardens on the site: a rose garden, a cactus garden, and a children's garden. We need volunteers at all times to help cultivate these gardens whether it be helping plant new crops for the children's garden or prune our near 100 year old rose garden.
