Work Parties – Visitors Welcome

Drop in to one of our Work Parties, where volunteers gather to garden all year round. There is always something to do: mulching, digging, composting, weeding, harvesting, watering etc. There is something for every experience level and all ability levels. Work parties may be canceled in heavy rains or snow.
