Join gardeners of all experience levels for a day of caring for the "Crown Jewel" of Santa Barbara, Alice Keck Park Memorial Garden. Parks staff will provide instruction in proper pruning, mulching, deadheading, and weeding techniques. Volunteers will grow in their horticultural knowledge and skills while spending a day serving their community and giving a boost to this beloved park.

Please bring sun protection, water to stay hydrated, and any hand tools or gloves that you may have. A limited supply of tools and gloves are available.
