About Us

Volunteer

Volunteering at the garden is a fun and rewarding experience.

For more information, please email at Suiho-eninfo@lacity.org

Docent & Greeter

Docents are the voice of the garden and lead private tours ranging from only 1 or 2 people to entire classes of school children informing them of the history, culture and symbolism of the garden.  Docent led tours last about an hour and fifteen minutes.

Greeters will help hand out brochures and share information with guests.

If you’d like to volunteer as a docent and/or greeter, please click on the volunteer application below to apply online, or download and print so you can bring it in on your next visit, or mail it to the Garden Office.  **Please note the only option currently available is “Docent.”
