Mill Park Volunteer Day

Description

Help us keep the shrub beds at Mill Park in bloom! Join PP&R to help weed, prune, and mulch the plant beds around the community garden.

This is a great opportunity to learn more about gardening and connect with your neighbors and community. Plant care activities may vary monthly. All skills and abilities welcome, no experience is required to participate.

Event Details and Reminders

Please bring a reusable water bottle if you have one, and any snacks you may need. Wear sturdy close-toed shoes and layers to dress for the weather.

Work looks and feels different for every body. We encourage volunteers to go at their own pace and take breaks to rest.

Keep yourself and your community safe and healthy - please stay home if you are sick. There will always be more opportunities to volunteer with us!
