Community Service That’s Good for You 

 

Volunteering at River Farm means becoming a part of a special group in your community, working to educate and inspire people of all ages to develop into successful, environmentally responsible gardeners. Being a volunteer provides unique opportunities to enrich your gardening knowledge and experience. It also provides benefits for your physical and mental health, and allows you to participate in the restoration and preservation of River Farm.

River Farm volunteers have the opportunity to participate in occasional educational/fun field trips and get discounted or free access to select AHS/River Farm events.
