Become Involved in CHG


Flower Show 2006 Volunteers in CHG BoothWhen you get involved at a historic garden site, you become part of a tradition of volunteerism that has helped sustain these significant sites and their extraordinary stories for decades. Meet new friends who share a passion for horticulture and history, and learn about places within your own state that have charmed and inspired visitors for a century or more.

The opportunities for involvement are many: Connecticut's Historic Gardens always welcomes volunteer help at the annual Connecticut and New England Flower Shows, or you can contact the participating Historic Garden nearest you to inquire about their volunteer or intern needs.
