To become a guide, you don’t need any special training or knowledge, only enthusiasm. We will teach you what you need and show you where to attain even more knowledge. You will gain a basic knowledge of horticulture, be able to identify dozens of different trees and plants, get a better understanding of the natural world around us and feel good about serving your community. If you want to become an Arboretum tour guide or volunteer in any other way, please email me at jerry@treezoo.com.
