Thank you for your interest in volunteering your time and talents with the Vancouver Botanical Gardens Association. A wide range of volunteer opportunities are available at VanDusen Botanical Garden and Bloedel Conservatory. VBGA volunteers contribute their time and talents in:

  • Education
  • Visitor and Member Services
  • Administration
  • Special Events
  • Governance 
  • and more! 

A note: The garden beds at Bloedel Conservatory and VanDusen Botanical Garden are maintained by staff gardeners, we do not have any gardening volunteer opportunities available. 

Your first step to volunteering is completing the volunteer application form. Please select the green button that says 'Fill in an Application" to begin this process. If you already have a myvolunteerpage account, you can log in to your account through the link right below it.

Next, please review our current opportunities on the tab titled opportunities and select list, not calendar. If there are no current opportunities, we will be in touch when recruitment recommences.

We have taken all reasonable precautions to mitigate risk, but there remains an inherent risk when interacting with others during the COVID-19 pandemic, including while volunteering. We ask you to make an informed decision acknowledging the inherent risks involved in volunteering in person.

The VBGA's mission is to engage people of all ages and walks of life in the importance of biodiversity to our lives and to foster a lifelong love of plants and gardens by virtue of their participation in our programs and services. Volunteers connect people to plants and help them understand their role in Earth’s ecosystems. We're excited that you are interested in being part of this mission!

For further information regarding volunteering, please contact Becky at btinsley@vandusen.org or 236-476-3481.

Thank you for your support,
