Lyndhurst Landscape Volunteer 2024
Various Dates, April - Sept.
Be a Lyndhurst Landscape Volunteer!
Most volunteer programs at Lyndhurst are in the landscape and are a great way to expand your gardening knowledge, give back to your community, meet new people, and share your love of horticulture. Our Landscape Volunteers work with our Curator of Historic Landscapes to help preserve and maintain our historic gardens and grounds.
Volunteer days are bi-monthly on the first and last Tuesday of the month, from the beginning of April to the end of September. You are welcome to join on any volunteer day. The hours are 9:30-12:30 pm. You are welcome to stay for part of the time, or the whole session. First-time volunteers should arrive at 9:30 for a quick orientation.
Instruction provided (tools limited).
Grab your gardening gloves and meet us in the Visitors’ Center courtyard!
Please email ESwart@savingplaces.org with any questions.

Volunteer with our Specialty Groups!
Volunteer with Lyndhurst Garden Specialists
Lyndhurst’s restored historic and specialty gardens are supported by dedicated garden groups, including the Friends of Lyndhurst Fern Garden and the Hudson Valley Chapter of the North American Rock Garden Society. Each of these societies seeks volunteers to help maintain specialty gardens on the Lyndhurst property.
- Fern Garden: The Friends of Lyndhurst Fern Garden actively maintains it and welcomes volunteers. They can be reached by contacting Gray Williams, Friends of Lyndhurst Fern Garden President, or Carol Mickel.
- Rock Gardens: The Rock Garden was first established in 2001 and was constructed and maintained by the Hudson Valley Chapter of the North American Rock Garden Society. Please reach out to Don Dembrowski for more information on how you can get involved.
