Volunteers must be:

  • At least 18 years old, unless attending with their caregiver.
  • Willing to complete a background check at their own expense (about $25.00 but varies based on the individual), if you are not affilitated with Ohio State University as a current Master Gardener Volunteer, student, faculty or staff member. 
  • Willing to attend a 20-minute interview with a member of the Chadwick staff or volunteer community. 
  • Interested and excited to learn, to share your passions and expertise, to build community, and to help Chadwick Arboretum become a model public garden for the 21st century!  

Volunteer Interviews take place between March-August.
