This event is perfect for the garden lover in all of us! We will be meeting up to plant, weed, spread wood chips, stake tomatoes, or cultivate. It all depends on how far along the gardens are by our volunteer date. And the best part? The program we are supporting gives all the produce to New Jersey’s needy. So, if you are up for a few hours of hard but rewarding work outdoors please REGISTER (sorry, no party crashers).


RSVP (to the right) and we will let you know when tix are almost gone, when prices are going up, if there are any changes, etc.

Deposits:
Because they are relying on us we are asking that all volunteers put down a FULLY REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT of $6.99. The $6.99 will be returned to all who attend the event. Cancellations will be accepted up until noon on the day before the event.

What to bring:
WATER (required), sun block, hat, garden gloves, snacks.
Bring a bagged lunch and at 1pm we can find a shady tree to eat under before heading home.
Wear clothes that can get dirty.

The gardens are grown on plots donated by Wagner Farms Arboretum Foundation (WFAF) and tended entirely by volunteers.
