Welcome to Luther Burbank Home and Gardens,
Online you will learn about Luther Burbank, the man and plant breeder, through short videos and written materials, and about our volunteer association. The Extra Material section is indeed extra and not required but may be of interest to you.
Gardener, Docent and Gift Shop volunteers, when you complete the online training please contact the office (707-524-5445 or burbankhome@lutherburbank.org) and you will be contacted by the appropriate chair to set up further in-person training.
You will be receiving our newsletter, the Burbankian, monthly by email. Along with interesting garden news, it will provide information on special events you may wish to volunteer for and the two luncheons a year held at the beginning and end of our season.
Should you have any questions about this online training, please feel free to call the office at 707-524-5445 Monday-Friday or email me Monica Devlin at monicadevlin33@gmail.com.
Many thanks for volunteering,
Monica Devlin
