Volunteers at the Gardens Volunteers help the Brisbane Botanical Gardens by Lara Steele, from information provided by Barbara Wintringham Many Botanical Gardens have volunteers that are essential to their existence. Some of the volunteers are High School or even Middle School students that are interested in horticulture .
Volunteers can have a number of different responsibilities in an organization.
The examples of the things that volunteers do below is taken from information provided by the botanical gardens that we are going to go see. However, they should be similar at other gardens. The aims of the volunteer program at Mt. Coot-tha are three fold. They aim to provide customer service and interpretive programs to increase visitors enjoyment and education. They strive to develop strong ties between the gardens and the community in which they live.
