Find serenity while giving back in Hermann Park’s beautiful Japanese Garden. Volunteers help with seasonal gardening tasks such as weeding, mulching, pruning, planting, and caring for water features, trails, and rock borders.
Join us on Tuesdays to connect with nature, meet new people, and make a visible impact. No experience is needed—just bring your enthusiasm and love for the outdoors! Sign up today and help keep the garden thriving.
