We welcome students, staff, and the greater Seattle community to get involved with the greenhouse!
Volunteer
Interested in getting your hands dirty, planting seeds, repotting plants, and helping with plant care? Fill out the form below to become a greenhouse volunteer! No experience is required—just an interest in plants and 4–8 hours of availability per month.
Due to overwhelming demand and last large training class size, our volunteer team is filled. We appreciate the wonderful interest of plant enthusiasts. We are not accepting applications at this time. A determination will be made in the fall on our winter volunteer team needs. In the meantime, we invite you to visit on our Open Public days to browse our 4 Collection rooms on Wednesdays from 10:00-2:00PM and 2nd/4th Saturdays from 10:00- 2:00 PM.
Become a Docent
Do you love sharing the world of plants with kids, students, and community members? We're looking for enthusiastic plant lovers with a basic knowledge of plants to become docents for our greenhouse collection. Docents play a key role in supporting our mission to inspire curiosity and educate the public about the wonders of our plant collection. If you're interested, please fill out the form below. You’ll receive an email before the next training orientation which is determined according to docent team needs, usually every 12-18 months.
