Come volunteer at the OCF Community Nursery! Learn about native plants and stewardship of native, drought-tolerant plants by volunteering.
About this event
Participants will work together with OCF AmeriCorps members to help weed out invasive species from the tree’s pots around the nursery. No experience is necessary, just a willingness to work with others while enjoying the outside! Great opportunity to gain hands-on nursery and landscape experience while supporting a good cause!
This event is for all ages, for other possible events check out our Eventbrite page!
