Save to Favorites

Keep North Charleston Beautiful is looking for several volunteer groups to adopt a the Butterfly Gardens at the Northwoods Community Center. These gardens serve as educational gardens for the community, and volunteer Flowerscape sponsors are an essential part of keeping these gardens beautiful for the community to enjoy.All groups adopting the garden will get their group name added to a Flowerscape sign located in the Flowerscape butterfly garden.

Volunteer group should be made up of ten or more members from a business, civic association, or other community group. Volunteers commit to completing landscaping tasks in the garden a minimum of three hours, once a month. This is a great opportunity for all skill levels - we will teach you anything you need to know. Hours are flexible during the week, and there is no monetary commitment. The butterflies are waiting.

Volunteer group responsibilities include:

• Meet or talk to staff to review what needs to be done in the garden prior to your monthly event.

• Let KNCB staff know the date of your event at least a week prior to the event. Make sure to schedule at least (one) three hour event per month. E-mail hours worked to KNCB office within one week after your volunteer event.

• Keep flowerbed weed-free by weeding a minimum of three hours each month. Deadhead flowers monthly and remove litter and debris as needed.

• Replenish pine straw as needed. Pine straw will be provided by KNCB.

• Tools may be borrowed from KNCB if needed but must be picked up and returned to the KNCB office. They are available from Monday-Thursday between 7am and 5pm.

• We appreciate any recruitment groups can do to help us obtain other sponsors and volunteers to participate in the Flowerscape Program.
