Garden Volunteer Day

Every Wednesday, 10am – 5pm, except:

• Nov. 22, 2017 (the Wednesday before Thanksgiving)
• Dec. 20, 2017 (the Wednesday before Christmas)
• Dec. 27, 2017 (the Wednesday before New Year’s Eve)

Sink your hands into our beautiful, rich soil and learn from the diversity of plant life in our 40-year-old Mother Garden. You can come for part or all of the day. We are happy to have your helping hands for as long as you can participate.

Volunteer lunch: Our chefs create an organic, vegetarian meal harvested from our gardens at 12:30pm. Enjoy the rewards of a horticulturalist’s day’s work!

What to bring: We suggest a hat, sunscreen, extra layers or rain gear depending on season, sturdy shoes and water bottle.

More information:

• We cannot accommodate a group of 6 people or more without prior arrangement.
• The Wildlands Preserve and community hot-tub and sauna are not available to our garden volunteers.
• Children are welcome but must be able to participate in adult work. Please supervise your child at all times.
