Those wishing to become instructors at New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill should have experience in the subject matter you wish to instruct and/or should also have specific teaching or training experience in that subject matter.

Strategically our classes fall into the following categories and you will be asked to identify which category your class falls into:

• Horticulture

• Conservation and Nature ID
• Wellness
• Arts
• Botanical Illustration

To be considered as a contract instructor, please complete and submit the course proposal form below. Proposals are reviewed on a rolling basis, and if your submission aligns with our programming needs, we will reach out to discuss next steps. Please note that NEBG engages instructors on a 1099 basis and does not constitute employment.

If selected for consideration, you may be asked to provide a detailed course outline, meet with a member of our Education Team, and undergo a CORI check. Your course outline should include readings, topics, required supplies, materials budget, and any planned exercises or activities.

Please note that instructors are responsible for providing their own equipment and materials. Programs may be held indoors or outdoors at the discretion of New England Botanic Garden, and location details may change based on programming needs.

Instructor opportunities are limited, and we receive more proposals than we can accommodate. Submission of this form does not guarantee acceptance or a contract position. Only selected proposals that best fit our needs will be contacted.
