Join us! Become a garden and orchard volunteer in Ben Nobleman Park in 2024

It’s almost time! The volunteers of the Ben Nobleman Park Community Orchard are getting ready for this year’s activities in the park. We meet every second weekend during the growing season to care for our fruit trees and our pollinator garden and we would love it if you would come to join us!

All you need to do to get involved is ask to be added to our active volunteer list. To do so, send us an email at growingforgreen (at) gmail.com. Then we will email you the Wednesday before our stewardship day to remind you about it and tell you our plans for the day. We ask that all volunteers RSVP if they want to participate.

So, stewardship days are below! If you have a google calendar, once you sign up we will share a google calendar link that will automatically put them in your calendar. Otherwise you can add them manually. We hope to see you in the park this year!

All stewardship days start at 9.00 AM and end at 11 AM. Please wear comfy clothes, a hat, and gardening gloves. Bring some water to drink. We will supply the tools!
