Description

Planting out our tropical specimens is a huge annual undertaking. Volunteers will work with garden staff to identify the appropriate location for each plant, dig out its seasonal planting hole, and safely tuck it in place. Perks of volunteering include access to the garden and our incredible stock of powerful plant allies, refreshing beverages made fresh, plant and knowledge shares, and community! Please bring your own tools if you have them (a shovel, bucket, a hand digging tool, gloves, pruning shears, kneeling pad or stool if you use them). **Remember: This event takes place outside. Be sure to dress for the weather and possibility of insects. The Rain Date for this event is Sunday, May 21, 11am-1pm!** Potted seedlings and divisions are available for donation at all our public events, as well as seeds and printed or recorded publications from Jim and Peggy Duke and others.
