Description

Weeding, Mulching, Edging.. Help get the garden in shape so visitors can easily see each plant they're learning about! Early spring activities in the garden focus on weeding and mulching, to ensure our educational specimens are easily visible to visiting learners. Volunteer tasks this month may include learning to identify one or more plant species for removal from garden beds, clearing debris from last year's growth, and pruning woody species. 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! Well-fitting full-coverage mask usage and physical distancing are required at all times indoors, and outdoors according to participants' autonomous decisions for their own comfort and health. Please bring your own tools if you have them (a bucket, a digging tool, gloves, pruning shears, kneeling pad or stool if you use them), and your face mask or scarf. We will sanitize any tools you borrow from us before and after your use, if you need to use ours. Note: This event takes place outdoors. Please dress for the weather, and the possibility of insects. 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.
