Native Garden Volunteer Event

Volunteers meet to remove invasive species, maintain/improve the native gardens and share knowledge of native gardening. Those new to native gardening are welcome to join and learn.

Learn about Lakeside Nature Center’s native gardens here.

If you are interested in volunteering or would like to bring a group for a volunteer event, please fill out an inquiry form.

This event is weather dependent. You will be emailed if the event is cancelled due to inclement conditions.

• apply insect/tick repellent (provided) to your skin and clothes,
• wear sunglasses or protective eyewear,
• bring your favorite gardening tools such as snips, loppers and a small shovel
