Do you love helping flowers to bloom? Learning about native plants, pollinators, and keeping weeds away? Spending time with nature and your neighbors? We're looking for volunteers to grow a group of plant pals at Hazeltine Park!
If you are seeking a consistent gardening focused volunteer event and love helping people connect to the nature in their neighborhood and want to help us share the word, please reach out to East Developed Parks Coordinator, Kimberléa Ruffu.
Join PP&R for volunteer events at Hazeltine Park to help with invasive plant removal, weeding, pruning, mulching, and other gardening activities.
This is a great opportunity to learn more about gardening and native plants, and to connect with your community. Plant care activities may vary monthly.

Youth under the age of 18 are welcome to attend with a parent or responsible adult.
