The Magnuson Children’s Garden Committee warmly welcomes you to volunteer in its fun and educational stewardship events.
Volunteers are the main reason that the Magnuson Children’s Garden has been a beautiful and sustainable community treasure for the benefit of all the children, adults, and families that visit!
Each stewardship event includes hands-on education and guidance from King County Master Gardeners and other experienced gardeners, plenty of tasks that are easy for novice gardeners or children to accomplish, as well as some complex tasks for those who want a more advanced gardening experience. Tools, gloves, and refreshments are provided for all volunteers, and all events qualify as student service-learning. Free, guided nature exploration and art activities for kids ages 2-12 are part of many events too, so that the whole family can participate!
