Event Date
Join us for a volunteer day!
Volunteer days are a wonderful opportunity to give back to the Arboretum, connect with fellow community members who enjoy volunteering and gardening, and experience the therapeutic benefits of spending time in nature. No prior gardening experience is required, and everyone aged 18 and over is welcome to participate, regardless of University affiliation.
Event details
Volunteers will help prepare the Good Life Garden for winter by clearing raised beds of summer crops and planting winter-growing plants. Participants will also help maintain the garden's ornamental landscapes.
Meeting Location
The Good Life Garden is located in the RMI courtyard. Parking on campus is free on weekends, and the closest parking lot is Parking Lot 2. Ample bicycle parking is available surrounding the RMI buildings.
Weather
Arboretum staff will closely monitor the weather in the days leading up to the event. If heavy rain is forecast, the volunteer day may be canceled. Registered participants will be notified by email if cancellation is necessary.
