- Join Thursday morning volunteer sessions (10:00am-12:00pm) to actively participate in maintaining the rose and succulent gardens while learning about horticulture directly from staff
- Check the venue's Facebook page before visiting to confirm weekend gardening session times and dates, as these are drop-in but variable

- Visit on a Thursday morning (10:00am-12:00pm) when volunteer sessions are running to experience the interactive gardening activities and avoid potentially quieter periods
