Join the Kruckeberg Botanic Garden Docent Training Program

Be a Kruckeberg docent
Learn about the Kruckeberg Botanic Garden and develop your skills as a volunteer docent! Do you enjoy sharing your knowledge with the public? Want to join a fun, vibrant group of volunteers? Have you been thinking about becoming a docent, but afraid you don’t know enough to lead tours?

Docents learn about the Garden's and Foundation's History and plant collection, as well as useful information about native plants, botany and horticulture. Docents get invited to special events and training opportunities, and join a fantastic and supportive team of volunteers.

The training prepares volunteers to interact with the public – serving as Garden Greeters, staffing outreach booths, and assisting with special events and tours. Those who would like to complete the optional Docent Tour Leader extension training will also have the opportunity to lead tours. 

Continuing education opportunities and field trips throughout the year help you continue to build skills and stay connected.

2014 GENERAL DOCENT TRAINING SESSIONS:
  • Sundays, 1 – 4 pm
  • April 6
  • April 13
  • April 27
  • Additionally, Docent Tour Leaders will assist with a tour in May or June and co-lead a tour in June or July.
