Volunteers are an incredibly important part of the UW Botanic Gardens family. Our volunteers contribute across our gardens, collections, and programs at the Washington Park Arboretum, Center for Urban Horticulture, Union Bay Natural Area, UW Farm, Miller Library, Hyde Herbarium, Rare Care, Miller Seed Vault, and in our programs in education, conservation, horticulture and plant records. Throughout all our departments, we depend on volunteers to help maintain outstanding collections and support programs that inspire and enrich the lives of students and the public. Together, with our partners at the Arboretum Foundation, we created this video to let all our volunteers know how much we appreciate you, miss you, and look forward to the time we can all gather again to continue this important work.

Thank you, volunteers!
