Lakewold Garden Helper Volunteer Orientation

Lakewold Gardens will begin holding twice monthly orientations for Garden Helper volunteers beginning in August. The orientations will fall on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month, at 10am and 3:30pm respectively.

The next orientation will be Wednesday, August 28th at 3:30pm.

Do you get excited when you see the first buds of spring? Do you
sometimes stop to pull an unintended weed because you just have to pull
it? Well, working in the gardens with our knowledgeable staff might be
just right for you. Responsibilities vary from raking leaves to
learning the art of selective pruning, planting up flats of annuals or
helping to troubleshoot plant and pest problems. These are just a few
of the tasks that the horticulture team tackles throughout the year.
Shifts of 2-4 hours work well.
