Volunteers Needed: Watering Schedule & Greenhouse Clean Up Day
Now that our native seedlings have been transplanted, we’ve started a watering schedule. Please sign up using the Volunteer Watering Schedule form. Simply add your name, available dates, and preferred phone number. Any help is greatly appreciated and you’re welcome to team up with a friend. The transplanted flats are located at the greenhouse located downtown Stevens Point (1220 Briggs Ct., Stevens Point, WI).
Morning watering should be completed before 10 a.m. (earlier on sunny days). Afternoon watering is best between 4–6 p.m. to allow foliage to dry before dusk. Instructions are included, but please reach out to [email protected] with any questions. Thank you for your support!
On Wednesday, May 20th, from 5-7 pm, we are looking for about 6-8 volunteers for greenhouse help to wash trays, dismantle tables, and clean up our area. There are leftover plants, including some un-transplanted seedlings, and some potted plants to take home at the end of the evening. Please RSVP to [email protected] if you are interested in helping.
RESCHEDULED Garden Workday
Be prepared to get your hands dirty at the Plover Library where we will do some general garden maintenance, weeding, and monitoring the needs of our chapter’s native space. This is a great opportunity to learn plant identification, characteristics, and growing conditions of various plants in our local area. Bring a water bottle, gloves, and hand tools if you have any. We have a lot of plants to get into the ground, so feel free to bring a friend! Can’t stay the whole time? Join us for even an hour or so. Many hands make light work
Saturday, May 23rd, time TBD
May 24th as potential rain date
