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! This week we will battle invasive honeysuckle and English ivy and learn the proper way to permanently eliminate these damaging plants from our gardens.
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.
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!
