volunteer
Volunteers are essential to our work and we welcome you join the fun. From gardening to welcoming guests, there are many opportunities for volunteers to get involved.
garden volunteers
Weekly gardening volunteers are a key part the Stoneleigh team. Organized volunteer events occur every Tuesday and Thursday, beginning at 8:30 AM, during the growing season. Garden tasks include weeding, mulching, planting, and other seasonal projects.
- No experience necessary–instruction will be provided.
- Please bring water and your own tools and gloves. We will have extras on hand should you need them.
- Suitable for ages 12+.
- Be prepared to walk on uneven terrain and get dirty.
ambassadors
Stoneleigh Ambassadors participate in a training program to learn about the rich history of the garden, our approach to ecological horticulture, guest relations best practices, and much more.
Upon graduation, Ambassadors volunteer to welcome guests to the garden and support special events. They commit to serving at least two, four-hour shifts each month at Stoneleigh. Shifts are available April through November, Tuesday through Sunday, 9:30 AM – 5:30 PM.
ready to apply?
Applications for new Stoneleigh Ambassadors will open at the end of 2025. Please check back then for more details.
what are others saying?
“I love being an Ambassador at Stoneleigh. I enjoy the friendships I have formed with other volunteers, and I love meeting visitors and telling them about the history and gardens of Stoneleigh.” ~ Marlene Campbell
“It is exciting to train and work alongside the Stoneleigh staff. We have learned so much about the history and gardens from them. What’s more, we get to observe the changes in the trees and other garden plants throughout the growing season. It’s such a pleasure to volunteer in such a beautiful setting!” ~ Ralph and Lin Hall
