GARDEN VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

Looking for a way to give back this holiday season?  Have a green thumb?  The Nature Conservancy is looking for a few good workers!

The Nature Conservancy
Garden Volunteers Needed – all levels of experience welcome. The Nature Conservancy, a local non-profit, seeks people to adopt different sections of our gardens. You’ll be able to volunteer for a leading conservation organization and use your green skills on your own schedule. We’ll provide the necessary tools and supplies for you at any time of the week.
Volunteering will entail one (or more) people assigned to a section of our building’s gardens. A group from your office, store, or association can adopt one space (or more) and together keep the area in good condition throughout the year. This will entail cutting back shrubs, deadheading perennials and shrubs, weeding, mulching, and raking. No more than a few hours of volunteering per month for each area will be required.
