Volunteers will help care for the pollinator garden adjacent to the Solitary Bee Wall at the Reiley Garden. This event will be led by one of our bee researchers and tasks include weeding, pruning, and edging. The garden is in full sun, so a hat, sunscreen, and water is recommended.
All tools and gloves will be provided. Bending and kneeling is required in order to plant. Volunteers must be at least 14 years old, wear long pants, and close-toed shoes. SSL can be earned if the student brings the proper paperwork from their school.
Parking is available in Stadium Drive Garage.

University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742, US
Mission Statement
The University of Maryland campus is an Arboretum and Botanical Garden that strives to be an instrument of horticultural distinction, landscape design and interpretation, and place-making reflecting the university’s education, research and service missions. The Arboretum and Botanical Garden incorporates the diverse heritage landscapes of the campus from its beginnings as an agricultural college founded in 1856 to its current urban setting befitting a distinguished research university. Through exemplary practices of environmental stewardship, horticulture and urban forestry, the Arboretum and Botanical Garden will enhance the campus’ aesthetic and promote awareness of conservation and preservation of our natural environment for the enrichment of the university community, the citizens of Maryland and our visitors.
Description
The University of Maryland, the state’s flagship campus, is located in the Baltimore-Washington corridor. The American Association of Public Gardens, by designating the university as an arboretum and botanical garden in 2008, recognized our commitment to becoming a green campus. Maryland is also the first university in the state to be honored as a Tree Campus USA by the Arbor Day Foundation.
The Campus inventory of over 8,000 trees, garden plantings and nearly 400 acres of undeveloped urban forest is a beautiful reminder of Maryland’s history and a harbinger of Maryland’s future. The university looks at the campus’ green space as a major resource for its educational, research and service missions.
