Volunteers at The Hudson Gardens & Event Center generously contribute thousands of service hours in a variety of areas to help us provide enjoyable, educational, and memorable experiences for all visitors.
Recurring Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers play a vital role in our success. Becoming a Recurring Volunteer is an investment of your time, energy and heart. At Hudson Gardens, we believe the skills, talents, and dedication of our volunteers set us apart from other event centers. From gardeners to field trips and special event assistants, we have a number of volunteer positions to fit a variety of interests and skills. See what works for you.

Volunteer Perks
Hudson Gardens volunteers receive as much as they give. In addition to spending time in a beautiful and restorative outdoor setting, volunteers gain knowledge and expertise in subjects such as horticulture, environmental education, public relations, and event management. Volunteers also receive special access to educational opportunities and Gift Shop discounts, while enjoying meaningful interactions with visitors and staff.
Please note that volunteer positions are not applicable toward court-ordered community service.
