Volunteer Butterfly Assistants: Butterfly assistants will be occupied with rearing larvae, pinning chrysalises, lab cleaning, lab maintenance, data recording, and helping to maintain a healthy population of butterflies. Insect collection will require some out-of-doors work, especially in summer months to collect butterflies and host plants used within the rearing lab.

Volunteer Garden Assistants: Garden assistants will be occupied with tasks of grounds keeping, plant maintenance, weeding, potting, watering and some cleaning tasks such as floor sweeping and cleaning of signage. Garden assistants will work mostly outside, including in summer and winter months.

Volunteer Presenters: Presenters will be occupied with answering questions and providing information on garden topics of water conservation, horticulture, and butterflies. Some light cleaning duties such as sweeping floors or wiping tables and signs may be requested during slow periods.
