Volunteer & Learn
CWGS has a variety of learning and volunteering opportunities that we wanted to make you aware of. Each year, the Society organizes volunteers for important water gardening projects at both The Hudson Gardens & Event Center and Denver Botanic Gardens.
These efforts offer a unique chance for new water gardeners to learn the basics of aquatic horticulture while giving back to the community. The best way to learn is hands-on experience, guided by experienced volunteers and garden staff.
