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: planting, weeding, pruning, mulching, watering, seed collecting and more. Then you’ll work with other volunteers to accomplish garden-related projects and keep our park beautiful. 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.
At this particular workday, we will be installing our new native sedge garden. Join us and learn how to prepare a new bed and properly install plant plugs, then put in the finishing touches that will assure success.
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!
