Garden Maintenance!
April 6th, 1-4 pm
The property of Elizabeth and Edwin Clarkson, Wing Haven Garden & Bird Sanctuary, is a respite for birds and other wildlife and a welcoming place to discover the beauty and wonders of nature. Volunteers will help in the garden doing seasonal maintenance: raking, digging, weeding, and potentially spreading mulch. Volunteers will also potentially clean the stream in our Children’s garden. Volunteers will receive background information on Wing Haven and have the opportunity to tour the gardens independently after the work day.
