This month's featured organization to volunteer at in Cheyenne is Cheyenne Botanic Gardens.
Located at 710 South Lions Park, the Gardens inspire, beautifies and enriches the High Plains through gardening, volunteerism, education, inspiration and stewardship by focusing on 3 main areas:
Plants - exhibit diverse plant collection and landscapes
Service and therapy - provides meaningful opportunities for seniors, handicapped and youth-at-risk volunteers who are essential in growing the Gardens

The Botanic Gardens operate sustainably by their volunteer resources. They have the highest volunteer-to-staff ratio with over 90% of the physical labor being provided by senior, you and handicapped volunteers.
