Smith-Gilbert Gardens Seeks Volunteers

KENNESAW, GA -- Smith-Gilbert Gardens is asking for volunteers who want to learn how to lead guided tours of their 16-acre complex.

Training for new volunteer “Tour Docents” begins in February, according to the Marietta Daily Journal. Smith-Gilbert Gardens’ website says the training consists of “plant identification, history of the Hiram Butler house and information about our 30 pieces of Garden Sculpture.”

Upon completion of training, Tour Docents have all the skills and information they will need to lead groups on guided tours through the facility, which boasts more than 3,000 species of plants.

If you’d like to volunteer at Smith-Gilbert Gardens, please call (770) 919-0248 or email info@smithgilbertgardens.com.
