1:00pm-2:30pm Main House Docent Training 

2:30pm-4:00pm Garden Docent Training 

This event welcomes all returning and new docent volunteers at The Fells. Join us for an overview of docent opportunities in both the Main House and the Gardens for the 2026 season. We’ll share training materials and tour scripts, walk through the essentials of serving as a docent, and conclude with a sample tour. The session will be led by the Fells Education and Landscape staff and will provide full training for volunteers interested in leading guided tours of the house, the gardens, or both during the upcoming season. Advance registration is requested by emailing info@thefells.org
