Volunteer
Be a Docent!
Our training program covers information such as Gilroy Gardens' history, the gardens and our butterfly program. As a volunteer, you will also learn interesting facts about the gardens to share with visitors. Sharing facts and lore about our unique environment will ensure that Guests of all ages gain an appreciation of a low-tech resource--nature! We encourage those interested to contact the Human Resources at the information provided below. No commitment is required to call. Come and see what our volunteer program is all about!
