Pullin' of the Greens

Join us for the annual spring cleanup of the Arboretum grounds.  This is a great opportunity for you to get outside and get a little exercise, rub elbows with and pick up plant tips from fellow gardeners, or even log in a few needed community or high school volunteer hours.  

Expect to prune, plant, trim, spread bark, repair garden beds, and more.  Please bring your work gloves and dress for the weather.  Don't forget a hat and to wear sunscreen too!

When the work is done volunteers will be treated to a tasty cup of hot soup and other treats in the Jewett Interpretive Center.  

"A Gardeners Outlook on Life"
 "Take up the spade with song.
Nurture early on.
Be fervent while you plot.
Chart the spot.
Prune with certainty and care.
Growth stops there.
Patience, patience, time to grow.
Reap what you sow.
Hardly the Garden of Eden?
Thankful for another season."
