Seeking volunteers who enjoy "playing in the dirt!" With events most every Saturday afternoon we would welcome your help in making the gardens look the best possible. Some of the Saturday tasks may include mulching, weeding, raking of pathways, watering, pruning, dead heading (the removal of spent flowers), using blower to clear road and walkways and more. If this sounds like your idea of a great way to spend your Saturday morning, please get in touch. Thank you!
