Volunteer at Lakewold
Share your talents with a vibrant community!
Volunteering at Lakewold Gardens is a great opportunity to get involved with your community while connecting with nature, the arts and local history! Volunteers contribute in a variety of ways in roles that touch all facets of our mission, from stewarding the land to sharing our exciting new programming with the public.
Sign up to volunteer and learn new skills. Meet new people, and give back to the garden and habitat once stewarded by our Steilacoom neighbors on the sacred Cook-al-chy, otherwise known as Gravelly Lake. Currently, training is individualized, however, a series of training classes will be added to the volunteer schedule soon.
Roles include:
- Admissions/Shop Assistants
- House Administrative Assistant
- Event Hospitality Host/Greeter
- Tour Docents
- Coffee & Chat Docents
- Art Docents
- Work Parties - a great way to try out volunteering!
- Horticultural Stewards
- Weeding Steward
- Plant Grooming Steward
- Perennial Care Steward
- Fine Gardening
- Container Garden Steward
