Weekend Projects Volunteering: Learn while gardening! Weekend Projects is a biweekly program at Arlington Garden where volunteers work on longer-term garden projects while learning about regenerative gardening and landscaping. No prior experience is necessary, but space is limited, and you must sign up for free in advance. Masks are mandatory in the garden and please bring water (there is no potable water on site), weather appropriate clothing and/or sunscreen, and gloves.

If you wish to order more than one ticket, please place multiple orders using the email addresses of the different volunteers. Due to the nature of the workshop activities, all volunteers must be at least 16 years of age or accompanied by an adult. Arlington Garden is a climate-appropriate, habitat garden offering learning, inspiration, and enjoyment for all. We use only regenerative techniques, which means that we do not use pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic fertilizers. Our goal is to help volunteers acquire the knowledge, skills, and inspiration to practice regenerative gardening for themselves and be inspired by the natural world.
