Butterfly Garden & Native Plant Workday
This workday is full. Check out our other upcoming volunteer opportunities!
—
Come join us as we install CGC-grown native plants into our butterfly garden to enhance the space and showcase a wide variety of native species. We need your help to clear out weeds, a few small trees and several non-native species, such as hostas. Then we'll plant dozens of plugs that have been grown here in our hoop house across the garden!
The plants we've grown represent a wide variety of regionally sourced and ethically harvested native plants. Although we sell them at the Fall Native Plant Festival, many of them are not yet found anywhere in Hauck Botanic Garden. By planting these species on our grounds, we'll be able to showcase their beauty and value while creating new habitat for pollinators.
This workday is for anyone interested in learning more about native plants, conservation and ecologically-minded gardening. You'll gain hands-on experience in preparing and installing a new pollinator garden. And remember, no prior training is necessary to attend our workdays!
Detailed information will be sent to registered participants, so keep an eye out for your confirmation email!
