Volunteer in the Gardens!
The many and diverse gardens at beautiful Shinn Park need you! Join in Tuesday mornings 10 to 12 when volunteers weed, plant, water, mulch, deadhead, prune, and weed some more . . . and then enjoy refreshments in the park's cottage.

Do you like to garden or would you like to learn? We have a great need right now for volunteers weeding, raking and mulching. We also have a few more roses to prune and you can help with that. If you don't know how we can teach you.

This is a special Saturday work party and is good for adults and students over 14 years of age or older.

If you have a group of 10 or more and would like an alternate weekend or date please let us know and we will see what we can set up.

About Friends of Heirloom Flowers Garden Club of Fremont CA

Location:

1251 Peralta Blvd, Fremont, CA 94536, Fremont, CA 94536, US

Mission Statement

Friends of Heirloom Flowers is a volunteer gardening group that partners with the City of Fremont to maintain one of Fremont's historical parks. We have work parties every Tuesday at Shinn Park & Arboretum, 1251 Peralta Blvd., 10:00 to noon, then a social tea and coffee.

We introduce heirloom flowers into the gardens and maintain the integrity of the plants already there. We work as a flexible team, share ideas, preserve history, and enjoy the outdoors while making new friends.

Our quarterly membership meetings include speakers in gardening-related fields, and we take field trips to various gardens or related places of interest.

Description

We encourage all levels of gardeners to come help us maintain Shinn Park & Arboretum - seasoned gardeners to novices. We also welcome members whose schedules allow them to join us one or two Tuesdays a month. Just bring pruning shears, gloves, and a willingness to work.

We also encourage students to earn their extra credit and community service hours in our gardens; they just need to be mentored by one of our members.

ALL are welcome.
