 The Ruth Bancroft Garden is recognized as one of the finest dry gardens in the world. Our plant collection includes drought-tolerant succulents, cacti, California natives, and more. We have a volunteer group that raises plants to be sold at tours and events to raise money to support the preservation of the garden. We are currently looking for volunteers who would like to work in our outdoor Propagation Area.
This is an excellent opportunity for volunteers to get hands-on experience working with succulent plants. You will learn how to plant cuttings, repot plants, and groom plants. Bring your own gloves, hand pruners, and hand trowels.
We will provide training, so it is not necessary to have any prior experience, although we also welcome those with experience! Most importantly, we look for volunteers who love plants and want to work in an outdoor garden setting. This opportunity is sponsored by: Ruth Bancroft Garden
We need volunteers who are free at these times
