We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help us tell lesser-known or untold stories from gardens, parks and other designed landscapes across the country through our social media channels and website. The role will involve researching gardens, uncovering histories and creating content that will help us to engage new, younger and more diverse audiences with gardens and their history.
