Join our next Docent Training at SFBG
Starting this Fall
- Would you like to introduce visitors to the plants and gardens of
SFBG?
- Do you want to learn more about plants and their uses?
- Are you interested in the environment, sustainability and biodiversity?
Join one of the top ten botanical gardens in the United States, with a collection of over 8,000 different plants, for this Fall's Docent Training, and learn how to introduce garden visitors to the tremendous collection of plants and gardens that make up SFBG.
Classes will be held on ten Saturday mornings from 9:30am – 12:30pm. There will be one evening session. This ten-week session is one part of a two-part docent training series in which you will learn about gardens within the San Francisco Botanical Garden. This class will emphasize plants and gardens from the Southern Hemisphere – South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Chile. A second class in Spring 2011 will focus on Northern Hemisphere plants and gardens.
