I really enjoy working in the pollinator garden on the weekends, but I couldn’t keep the garden looking good without a dedicated group of volunteers to help me. We do not use any pesticides in the garden so insects and weeds are controlled by hand-picking and hand-weeding. Volunteers help weed (bermudagrass is our primary weed), plant, and mulch. I have an email list that I use to communicate with volunteers. Sometimes we schedule work days and tackle tasks in a small group. Other times I put out a list of what needs doing and people come on their own time. If you are interested in volunteering, email me and I will add you to the list. We can always use more help!
