Join CGC Horticulturist Julie for some hands-on gardening experience at the Hauck Botanic Garden. This 100-year-old public park serves as our outdoor classroom and the backdrop for everything we do. And it’s all thanks to volunteers like you! 

 At a Hands On at Hauck educational workday, you’ll learn the basics of year-round garden maintenance, then work with other volunteers to accomplish garden-related projects and keep our park beautiful. There are just a few weeks left in the season and it’s time for some fall clean-up. Not of the garden though; it’s time to clean our tools! This week we’ll be cleaning and sharpening our trusty gardening tools, as well as relocating them from the old shed into their new home in the garage. No prior knowledge or skills needed. Whether you’re totally new to gardening or have many years of experience this workday is for you! The ability to kneel and use hand tools is recommended but not required.

Please bring gloves if you have them and a water bottle. Wear closed-toe shoes and clothes you’re comfortable getting dirty. All other tools and materials will be provided.

Detailed information will be sent to registered participants, so keep an eye out for your confirmation email!
