Marta Macdowell and a volunteer work in Dickinson's garden

Garden Volunteering

Five gardeners crouching to lift a Hosta plant

“So build the hillocks gaily –
Thou little spade of mine
Leaving nooks for Dai
sy
And for Columbine –
Fr30

The Dickinson family gardens were extensive and rambling, and the Poet drew daily inspiration as she cultivated them. Join in the community of volunteers who weed, plant, water, edge, deadhead, prune, rake, and more to maintain the landscapes at the Homestead and The Evergreens throughout the warmer season. Headed up by Museum staff and horticulturists – and you! Registration is required for all garden opportunities, but no experience is necessary.

See below for upcoming opportunities.
