Join us for an All Play Day!

All Play Volunteer Days are one-time volunteer opportunities open to everyone, whether you’re a current volunteer or joining us for the first time. Opportunities include family-friendly events for young gardeners, Green Teen programs for ages 15-19, large-scale All Play Days, and other special projects throughout the year.

All Play Days give you chance to help the environment, make new friends, try out volunteering for us and – hopefully – have a little fun! Plus, you get the benefit of free parking and free admission before or after volunteering, so you can enjoy our remarkable forests & gardens.

We typically host one All Play Volunteer Day each month at either our Cleveland Botanical Garden or Holden Arboretum campus. You can see the current schedule for 2026 here.
