All Play Volunteer Days

Come play with us!
All Play Volunteer Days are when we host one-time volunteer activities that are open to anyone, whether you are a current volunteer with us or not. They include special family-friendly events to engage our youngest gardeners, unique Green Teen events designed for volunteers ages 15-19, full on All Play Days where we can take all comers and more.
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 2025 here.
You can learn more or sign up for one of our All Play opportunities below – and bring a friend!
Upcoming All Play Days

ALL PLAY Summer Family Days – Biome Clean-up
Sundays, June 22 and August 17 from 9:30am-12pm
Join us at our Cleveland Botanical Garden campus to do a semi-extreme makeover in our Eleanor Smith Glasshouse biomes. These amazing spaces are packed with exotic plants, trees and animals – and they need a little love to keep them healthy. Biome Clean-up activities include raking leaves and removing debris from beds, wiping down vents, helping repair screens and more. No prior experience necessary! Our special ALL PLAY Family Days work for individuals ages 14+, small groups, and families with children ages 8 and up!
