Through the Flower Art Space has a dedicated crew of volunteers, without whom, we could not continue to provide the dynamic programs and experiences we are committed to offering. We have a range of opportunities based on individual volunteer’s interests and availability. Read below for descriptions of these opportunities and to sign up to become a part of the Through the Flower volunteer community.
