Get Outside During a Sonoma Garden Park Volunteer Workday

The public is invited to attend a Native Plant Nursery Volunteer Workday on Saturday, June 9, 2012 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Sonoma Garden Park.

June is the perfect time to start native herbaceous perennials!  Join Sonoma Ecology Center staff at the Native Plant Nursery and gain experience working with yarrow, mugwort, California bee plant and sticky cinquefoil. Volunteers will learn about using these beneficial and drought-tolerant perennials to complement any garden.

All ages and skill levels are welcome, and children must be accompanied by an adult. Volunteers will be getting dirty, so please dress appropriately, wear sturdy shoes, and bring gloves, a snack, and refillable water bottle. Space is limited and RSVP is required. To learn more about the workday, or to RSVP, contact Megan FitzSimmons at (707) 996-0712 x113, or email megan@sonomaecologycenter.org.  

Sonoma Garden Park is a working farm and model of sustainable agriculture, managed by Sonoma Ecology Center. Sonoma Garden Park was a gift from Pauline Bond, and is located at 19996 Seventh Street East, between MacArthur and Denmark Streets in Sonoma.
