There’s a sure fire way to enjoy nature, people, and beauty at the same time – volunteering at Kingwood Center Gardens.
The miracle which is Kingwood is seeking volunteers to assist in a full range of 2018 activities. Each year, over 100 people donate their time and impact almost every project in the house and on the grounds – an amazing 10,000 hours of service annually.
Some work done by volunteers includes the following:
- Garden assistant
- Flower arranger
- Host(ess)
- Tour guide (for children and/or adults)
- Wedding liaison
- Office assistant
- Special event volunteer
Those who lack a green thumb, or have limitations on time or mobility are welcome. Benefits of volunteering also include free parking, a 10% discount on workshops, tours, and garden shop purchases, a quarterly newsletter, an annual Spring luncheon, an annual summer covered dish picnic, and an end-of-year gift of “delectable goodies” and plant.
Interested? Then attend Kingwood Center Gardens’ Volunteer Open House on April 7 from 1 PM to 3 PM. Contact MacKenzie Cole at Kingwood at 419-522-0211, ext. 110.
