Volunteer Opportunity Details:

Help create a beautiful, water-conserving garden that will demonstrate healthy garden practices using no pesticides, mulch, water conservation and recycling methods, drought tolerant and native plantings. Garden work parties may prepare beds, apply sheet mulching, compost, weed, prune, water, plant, transplant, construct paths, construct benches, build an irrigation system or raised beds. Volunteers learn better gardening practices, drought-tolerant and native plant identification, soil preparation, how to attract pollinators and beneficial insects, and more while enjoying the company of other gardeners and the beautiful setting looking onto Mt. Diablo.

Volunteers can learn new skills by doing them with instruction on site but should also wear gloves, closed-toe shoes, and bring drinking water. If possible bring gardening tools to use at the garden and if desired bring a camera for photographs.
