With over 130 acres to maintain and welcoming more than 50,000 guests from Oregon and abroad each year, The Oregon Garden relies on the support and generosity of our volunteers. Oregon Garden volunteers contribute over 12,000 volunteer hours each year in horticulture, visitor services, education, events and administration.
We welcome individual volunteers — a great way to make new friends — or groups, and can accommodate whatever time commitment you’d like to make, from ongoing weekly shifts to one-time work parties.
