Help out in the Leach Garden Greenhouse and Nursery with the seasonal work of planting, potting, watering plants, washing pots, and other jobs. The garden produces a large array of uncommon plants that are sold at the annual plant sale fundraiser in the spring. The greenhouse team meets at the garden on Monday mornings at 9:30 am and the work usually takes an hour or two, depending on the season. Volunteers must be willing to work indoors or out, and must be able to lift and carry 25 lbs. or more.
