Looking to fulfill your community service requirements and get some fresh air? We welcome your help in our garden helping to water, weed, mulch and plant. We have Saturday hours from 9-1 from April through September. During your breaks you are welcome to join us on Wednesday and Thursday mornings from 9-noonish. The American Horticultural Society sits on 25 beautiful acres on the Potomac River and is rich in history dating back to the time when this property was owned by George Washington. If this sounds like something you are interested in, please get in touch. We enjoy working with young people!!!
