Become a Garden Angel

The Beausejour Daylily Gardens has over 40 volunteers, or Garden Angels, who ensure their section of the Gardens is maintained to official display garden standards. We always have openings for Garden Angel volunteers. Email Beausejourdaylilygardens@gmail.com and join today.

Volunteering at the Beausejour Daylily Gardens Matters

Volunteering at the BDLG isn’t just about helping a garden-it’s about learning, connecting, and improving your well-being while supporting one of Manitoba’s most beautiful community spaces.

Learn and Grow Your Gardening Knowledge

When you volunteer, you gain hands-on experience with an extraordinary collection of plants.We have a pretty amazing collection of Daylily cultivars, Irises, Lilies, Peonies, Ornamentalshrubs and trees, and other perennials. Master Gardeners are always available to answer your questions, share tips, and help you learn more about plant care, hybridizing, and gardenmaintenance.

Connect with a Wonderful Community

Volunteering is a great way to meet people, make friends, and feel part of something meaningful. Every October the Friends of the BDLG’s host a Volunteer Appreciation Event. Each year, two volunteers are awarded a double fan of the Beausejour Angel’s Reward Daylily or a single fan of CarolBender Daylily- two prestigious cultivars exclusive to the BDLG and never sold to the public. It is a true honour reserved only for our volunteers.

Also Featuring:

• Thank you, gifts,

• Door Prizes

• Presentations

• Cake and refreshments

Health & Well-Being Benefits

• Gardening is proven to support both physical and mental health.

• Boosts mood and relaxation.

• Lowers cortisol levels.

• Soil bacteria can help increase white blood cell production.

• Encourages physical activity-many volunteers easily reach 10,000 steps during a visit.

• Time in the garden is time invested in yourself.

What to Expect During Spring Cleanup

Spring is the most important and time-consuming season for garden care. Tasks include:

• Raking leaves

• Removing last year’s dead growth

• Pulling early weeds

• All tools are provided, and most beds are mulched to reduce workload.

• Recommended schedule:

• Spring visit: -2 hours

• Monthly maintenance visits -1 hour

Volunteers may adopt a section or help as “volunteers at large” during work sessions, events, fundraisers, or by serving on the Friends of the BDLG board
