Volunteer

Support our vision by becoming a volunteer for CVIBGS. Each year the Spring Garden Festival Committee begins to meet and plan for the garden show in March. This is a fun group to be a part of where meetings are collaborative and very social. It’s an opportunity to build new experiences in a Festival atmosphere and new lasting friendships.

We strive to provide our members with a variety of opportunities to build new skills, make friends, and help in realizing the Society’s vision.
