The Boyce Thompson Arboretum is home to an abundance of wildlife, including thousands of different species of plants and animals.
Would you enjoy getting your hands dirty in the garden while learning about desert plants from Arboretum horticulturists and groundskeepers? Find out more about our volunteer programs!
Our goal here is that teachers consider the Arboretum an extension of their classes rather than just a day-trip destination for their students.
