Volunteers
The Foundation is fortunate to be supported by an enthusiastic and dedicated team of volunteer Docents who lead the public tours every Wednesday and Master Gardeners who tend to Drumthwacket’s beautiful gardens. Volunteers provide vital support to the Drumthwacket Foundation and serve as a cornerstone to the educational programs.
Interested in Volunteering? The Foundation is currently seeking volunteers to assist the Master Gardeners. If you are interested, please e-mail robynbrenner@drumthwacket.org.
