Greetings Potential Volunteer,
We are so excited you have decided to volunteer with us!

Garden of Lights is a 12-night fundraiser benefiting Heathcote Botanical Gardens’ year-round programs. The event offers 5 acres of innovative garden and Holiday illumination including the lighting of our large collection of tropical and subtropical Bonsai. Some fun features are a self-guided scavenger hunt for our younger guests, refreshments, photo opportunities, live music and Santa most nights.

The garden welcomes volunteers aged 14 and 15 with the participation of a parent or guardian. All minors (under 18 years old) are required to submit a signed authorization form. All volunteers are required to have an application on file. These are available on our website and will be on hand each night of the event.

Directions for volunteering:
Select a position and click the arrow. Fill out the very short form. Your information will not be shared with anyone outside of Heathcote and the Volunteer Coordinator. You will receive an email from the Volunteer Coordinator 1 week prior to your chosen night of lights. This email will have specific information on parking, dress code, and other special details for your date and assignment. If you have further questions, email the volunteer coordinator directly using the sign up sheet manager button below.

Thank you for volunteering with Heathcote.
Brightest regards,
Your Heathcote Crew
