- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
If you're looking to enjoy the beautiful weather and get your hands dirty, join us at Shotwell's Landing Nursery to work in our prairie demonstration garden!
Our prairie demonstration garden is an important outreach and educational tool to help people of various ages, interests, and abilities learn about native prairie plants and prairie ecosystems. Help us with mulching, weeding, planting, and other maintenance work to get our garden ready for spring!
The work party goes from 9:00-3:00, but we appreciate whatever amount of time you can contribute.
Carpooling is available from our office in downtown Olympia, please give at least 24 hours notice if you plan on using this.
