Interested in planning a group volunteer project with your office?
Corporate Volunteer Groups work together to complete projects in our indoor and outdoor gardens, or behind-the-scenes in our production houses alongside Conservatory staff. Projects range by the season and vary by group size. This program is currently on hold, but we are looking forward to bringing volunteer groups back to GPC.

If you have questions, please get in touch with our Volunteer Coordinator. Please note that we kindly request a minimum donation of $250 to offset the costs of our project supplies and staff time. Once your Corporate Volunteer Group is confirmed, you can submit the donation by clicking the button below.
