Volunteers needed to teach kids at Quarryhill Botanical Garden

Youth docents are needed at Quarryhill Botanical Garden to help in their youth education program - no science experience necessary.

All you need is a passion for teaching children and a willingness to learn about plants.

Volunteers will be taught everything they need to know about botany and horticulture to help the 1,400 students who will come to the 25-acre woodland garden in Glen Ellen during the coming school year.

Quarryhill is a private, non-profit preserve filled with 20,000 rare and endangered plants started from seeds collected in the wilds of temperate regions of Asia over the last 28 years.

Training for the program runs July 29 to Sept. 2 from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. To sign up call Eva Corbin at 996-6027 or email ecorbin@quarryhillbg.org.
