Volunteer

No matter what your interests, skills, or schedule, you can help Lyndhurst in its valuable work. Most volunteer programs at Lyndhurst are in the landscape and are a great way to expand your knowledge of design and gardens, give back to your community, meet new people, and share your love of horticulture. Select restoration programs can also be created to suit the interests of your group or organization.

Group Volunteer Projects

Lyndhurst hosts group volunteer days perfect for university alumni groups, scouting organizations, and corporations. These programs can be tailored to your specific needs and interests depending on the size and scope of the activity, we may require organizations to provide supervision or make a donation in advance of the program.

For more information about alumni or student volunteering contact Associate Director Krystyn Hastings-Silver at 914-303-6835 or via email at lyndhurst@savingplaces.org

Volunteer with Lyndhurst Garden Clubs

Lyndhurst’s specialty gardens are supported by dedicated garden societies including the Fern Garden Society, 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.

  • Rose Garden: The Rose Garden, planted in the early 1900s, was one of Helen Gould’s most memorable contributions to Lyndhurst. In the 1970s, the Garden Club of Irvington restored the garden. is your group interested in maintaining the Rose Garden? Let us know!
  • Fern Garden:  The Fern Garden was established by Lyndhurst master gardener, Ferdinand Mangold for George Merritt in the 1860s.  You can still see it shaded by birch trees and Norway Spruce along the entry drive. The Friends of Lyndhurst Fern Garden actively maintains the Fern Garden. The Friends of Lyndhurst Fern Garden welcomes volunteers and can be reached by contacting Gray Williams, Friends of Lyndhurst Fern Garden President, at graywms@aol.com or Carol Mickel at mickelcj@aol.com.
  • 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. This year, Rock Garden Society volunteers are working to replace the naturalistic garden elements in the “rockery” section of the Lyndhurst property which has recently been restored to its 1868 appearance. Volunteers are encouraged to participate.  Please reach out to dondembowski@optonline.net for more information on how you can get involved.
