INDIVIDUAL Volunteer Opportunities -McGovern Centennial Gardens

Description

Join us every Wednesday and Saturday for rewarding, hands-on projects in the beautiful McGovern Centennial Gardens. From vibrant flower beds to themed horticultural areas, there’s always something new to discover and care for. Depending on the season, tasks may include planting, weeding, mulching, or pruning. No experience is needed—just bring your enthusiasm and love for the outdoors! Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, learn about gardening, and make a visible impact in the park. Sign up today and help us keep Hermann Park blooming!
