Gain valuable gardening experience while helping your local parks and community! Sign-up to be part of a team of people who design, implement and care for the native plant gardens. Staff will meet you in the spring to get you started. You choose the day and time to visit and tend to the garden. We will supply the plants and tools you need for a successful garden.
Process:
March: Communicate your interest in native plant gardening with the Wood County Park District. You are encouraged to attend the informational session and planning meeting.
April: Volunteers meet to plan, request plants, and identify needs
May - October: Garden volunteering
Your team chooses the days and times to visit and tend to the garden. The Wood County Park District will supply the plants and tools you need for a successful garden. Log your hours and add them to this website.
