We share our mission to our guests through exhibits, discovery carts, tours, and programs. Both staff and volunteers interpret our mission to guests through these methods. Discover how interpretive tools and methods are used to convey the chosen message and inspire action. Learn how various gardens combine content with interpretive techniques to train volunteers to serve as teachers, docents, and guides. Hear from gardens that use the formal Certified Interpretive Guide training from the National Association of Interpretation and others that create their own training curriculum.
