Special Events

Every year, the Garden is filled with special events, each one showcasing a different aspect of the Garden experience. There are so many opportunities during the week, evenings, and weekends for you to greet and guide our guests, and to help them create wonderful memories of all the Garden has to offer.

Volunteer Opportunity Directory

“Volunteering at Naples Botanical Garden is perhaps one of my most fun and rewarding things I have done in retirement. Every time presents a new and different experience, especially at the numerous special events that are held every season. Each is unique, from Hats in the Garden, to Johnsonville Night Lights in the Garden, to Music in the Garden. Meeting people on vacation or full-time residents has really enriched my life. On one occasion I met a very special person who has now become my wife!”

—Bill, volunteer since 2016
