Join gardeners of all experience levels in caring for this beloved park. Every Monday through Wednesday, and the first Saturday of the month from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Parks staff will provide volunteers with guidance in proper pruning, mulching, deadheading, and weeding techniques and assign tasks. Drop-in volunteers are always welcome. Meet at the big shed on the Santa Barbara Street side of the park. Please bring your own hand tools and gloves if you have them, a limited supply is available. These volunteer events will be cancelled for rain.
