Volunteering
The Gresham Japanese Garden is comprised solely of volunteers—there are no paid employees. Volunteers are the heart and soul of the organization. Tsuru Island, Ebetsu Plaza, Ambleside Annex, Mural Garden, Peace Tree Garden, and our Pollinator Garden comprise the spaces GJG maintain inside Main City Park. GJG is the “gem of the city” because of the dedication of our volunteers and leadership team.
Volunteers also run all our cultural events and manage the rentals of the Kyoudou Center.
We conduct volunteer orientation meetings all throughout the year. Email volunteers@greshamjapanesegarden.com to find out when our next orientation meeting takes place.
Until then, happy gardening.

Saturday Garden Days
Every Saturday from 9am-12pm the Gresham Japanese Garden volunteers are working at the Garden at 219A S. Main Avenue, Gresham, OR 97030.
Please join us. We’ll have gloves and a shovel ready for you.
