Docent Training for Fall 2009

Every other fall Lotusland presents a 14-week docent-training course that provides all necessary information for conducting garden tours. Instructors are drawn from Lotusland staff, the Santa Barbara community, and experts from California academic and horticultural institutions. These informative and enjoyable Monday morning sessions consist of an indoor presentation followed by an outdoor portion, lasting from 9:30 AM to noon. Docent training begins on September 14.

Upon completion of the program docents are expected to lead one two-hour tour each week during our open season (mid-February through mid-November). After the completion of docent training, Lotusland provides additional opportunities for volunteers to continue their horticultural education through monthly meetings and field trips.

If you have questions or would like more information about the program, please contact Lotusland Volunteer Coordinator Jean Parry by phone at 805-969-3767 extension 112 or by email at jparry@lotusland.org. Please click here for a printable DOCENT TRAINING INTEREST FORM or write to:
