Jefferson Market Garden

VOLUNTEERS​

WANTED

 

​

Jefferson Market Garden is a New York treasure that depends upon volunteers in many roles for its daily operation. From tending to the plants and flowers to greeting visitors from around the world to helping at our community events, our volunteers are an integral part of the Garden.

Gate Greeters

​​

Community involvement begins with our Gate Greeters, who welcome all visitors when the Garden is open.

 

Your role as a Greeter is to welcome visitors, answer questions about the Garden's history and plantings, collect voluntary donations, and to make sure the rules of the Garden are followed so all may enjoy this special New York City oasis.
