Volunteer Days

People from throughout the community come together to care for our campus.

At least four times a year, we invite the community to join us for a day of planting, trimming, pruning, weeding, and clean-up around the Garden Club’s campus at 1005 Riverside Avenue.

Sponsorships will help cover new plants and supplies, as well as refreshments for the volunteers.
