As spring is springing, we are getting ready to start a new season of gardening, and would love to invite you to volunteer. Volunteers will meet Mondays from 10am-12pm at the Rancocas Nature Center. This is an opportunity for folks who love to garden or are new to gardening to work with a few of our local Master Gardeners. Participants will help keep our native plant gardens looking amazing and full of flowers and plants to attract and host wildlife. Whether your goal is to learn more about gardening and native plants, need help identifying weeds, want to meet some plant loving friends (gardeners are cool people... but I might be biased lol) or just to get outside and get a little exercise, we would love to have you join! You do not need to come every week, whenever you are available, we would appreciate the help. We have tools and gloves, but feel free to bring your own gloves if you would like. Hope to see you this gardening season! Ages 16+. Volunteers under 18 will need to be accompanied by a parent/guardian. No registration needed.
