VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

Do you love roses and wish to offer some time at Portland’s premier public rose garden?! We’d love to have you join our team! Volunteers provide services year-round, however during the rose bloom season, May through October, deadheading spent flowers is the primary activity. Volunteers schedule their time within the weekday time blocks: Monday through Friday, between the hours of 7:00 am and 2:00 pm (Wednesdays start at 10am), and Monday evenings from 6:00pm – 8:00 pm.

An orientation is required.

Please email us with your interest or with any questions:
