Together, Friends of Mercer Botanic Gardens and the Mercer Botanic Gardens, create a social space that draws people of all ages to the Gardens for fun, learning, social interaction, quiet and peaceful spaces, beauty and personal enrichment.

Since Mercer Botanic Gardens opened to the public in 1974, it has flourished from a strong volunteer base.Mercer volunteers include plant and nature enthusiasts starting at age 12 with a parent or adult guardian. Volunteers ages 16+ may volunteer independently. We welcome community groups, corporations, high school and college students, retirees, and anyone else with an interest in nature, conservation, and the environment.

Volunteers help with all aspects of the gardens. Opportunities including garden assistant, potting shed, greenhouse assistant, and more. Volunteer activities may include plant propagation, bed maintenance, and care including weeding, mulching, planting, dividing, and harvesting. There is also administrative, outreach and social media, to board of directors positions, special projects/events assistance and coordination, and more.
