Volunteers are needed to assist with the spring cleanup and prepare the grounds for the Gardens’ season opening on Sunday, May 1. The Gardens are primarily a volunteer-based organization and any help is welcome and appreciated. At the event, volunteers will be raking leaves, picking up fallen branches and sticks and cleaning up other debris on the grounds.

This is a great opportunity for students and Master Gardeners to get service hours! Volunteers are encouraged to bring their own rake and garden gloves, if possible. Water and light snacks will be provided. Dress for the weather, as this event will occur rain or shine! If you are able to volunteer, please RSVP to volunteer@friendshipbotanicgardens.org by March 21st.
