With staff presenting their areas of expertise, this is a wonderful opportunity for volunteers to take advantage of these sessions as continuing education and enrichment. For newer volunteers, these lectures and their attendant readings will be good introductions to Hillwood\u2019s interpretive messages and garden collections.\u00a0For seasoned volunteers, the lectures and readings will be good refreshers that may also reveal interesting new angles and research.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><u>Staff-led Lectures<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A new, virtual approach will be offered this year, allowing volunteers to attend from the comfort of their homes.
