VOLUNTEER TESTIMONIALS

“Everyone who works at Hidden Lake Gardens is very friendly and helpful. Volunteering once a week led to helping with other events. When the Sky Walk opened, I started volunteering there. Visitors are very friendly and excited to be there. Hidden Lake Gardens is a beautiful place to visit whether you are hiking, biking, having a picnic, visiting the conservatory, or attending the many events they have year-round. If I could volunteer more I would. There are so many ways to volunteer at Hidden Lake Gardens. It is a very rewarding experience.” – Jalaine

“I truly believe we are all called upon to do something to help the world around us. By volunteering at Hidden Lake Gardens, I’m a part of promoting awareness of nature, reminding everyone who visits of the importance of acting as stewards of the natural world around us. My time at the Skywalk has been transformative: I get to stand among the canopy of trees for a few hours and bathe in the whisper of the wind through the treetops above, marvel at the sunlight dappling on the wooden platform at my feet & greet happy, curious visitors, most of whom have never been on a suspension bridge. I must admit that I come back week after week because it feels so good to be a part of this amazing experience, chatting with people, looking up through the trees with strangers, who somehow don’t feel like strangers. I’m just so lucky to be a part of the HLG volunteer team.” – Carolynn
