We are excited to partner with the Fine Arts Chambers Players for another Basically Beethoven concert series.  Every Sunday afternoon in July we'll be hosting free music concerts in our Grand Hall.  Volunteers are needed to assist with setup, tear down, greeting and in the butterfly house and garden.  If you have a free Sunday afternoon or two to spare, please volunteer. 

TDG is excited to launch our first summer camp this July!  We have a great group of children registered to learn about nature and the great outdoors in our very own garden and butterfly house.  Help us make their summer camp a success as a volunteer summer camp counselor.  Volunteers are needed to assist with children's activities, set up, tear down and much more. 

Join us for our 2nd Annual Butterfly Festival at TDG.  We have children's activities, face painting, butterfly house tours and partnering organizations showcasing reptiles, bugs, butterflies and more scheduled for this fun-filled day.  With the increased foot traffic we are in great need of garden and butterfly house docents, greeters and volunteers to assist with our children's activities.  

The Butterfly Tea Party featuring the children's book, Bonjour Butterfly!, from the Fancy Nancy book series is back by popular demand.  This past June we were fortunate to host more than a hundred children and their parents in tutus and feather boas.  Needless to say, we expect a similar turnout for the second party and we need your help!  Volunteer to assist with children's activities related to Fancy Nancy and engaging children in the Fancy Nancy experience.  Feel free to get in touch with the Fancy Nancy inside you and dress up in your own tutus and feather boas.  

Mark your calendars!  State Fair Orientation is just a couple months away.  If you plan to volunteer with Texas Discovery Gardens during the State Fair, we would love to see you at one of our orientations.  Yes, even those of you who return to volunteer faithfully year after year.  Entomologist John Watts will be hosting a one-hour program on our butterflies and this year Horticulturalist Randy Johnson will be hosting a 30-minute program orienting volunteers to our gardens and native plants.  Please RSVP to Program & Volunteer Manager Marisa Hettinger by phone or email.
