First Tuesday Nursery Days
Volunteers will help park horticulturist with jobs involving caring for the rare, endemic plants being propagated, such as transplanting, weeding, cleaning and preparing seeds for storage or planting, and some pot washing. The park recycles pots which have to be carefully cleaned to prevent the spread of plant diseases. There may sometimes be some out planting, but most of the service work is done inside, and participants can drive up to the location of the work. The workday is 9:00 to noon the first Tuesday of each month. To sign up or to learn more, please call Mary SantaMaria at (808)572-1584 and leave a message.
You must register with Mary to participate.
