What we found: The arboretum’s FY25 handbook confirms a resident host programme: volunteers live on-site in their RVs for a defined term and work with visitor services or education under a host agreement. September–May is the published recruitment/seasonal window, but a new 2026–27 vacancy was not confirmed. The current support page supplies an application; its opportunity directory required JavaScript. The same handbook describes local greeters, map-station and event volunteers, which should be labeled separately from resident hosts. Published staffing contacts make this a particularly useful botanical-garden lead.
