Community Work Parties at the Parks Native Plant Nursery

Description

Help us prepare our native plant nursery for another year of restoration projects! We will be potting thousands of bare root plants and tidying up our Parks Native Plant Nursery. 

Note: these work parties have multiple shifts! There are available shifts in both the morning and afternoon on Saturday, March 7th and Saturday, March 14th! You may choose morning (9 a.m. – 12 p.m.), afternoon (1–3 p.m.), or both for either day.

Nursery and parking location TBD based on ongoing construction at our Woburn Street Operations Center facility. We will update the finalized location of these work parties on this page as soon as we can. Please be sure to register so you can receive our pre-work party email with location and parking information! Follow our work party signs and walk to our native plant nursery.

All ages and abilities welcome. Participants under age 16 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian. Tools, gloves, and instructions are provided. Please note that bare-root potting is less physically active than our typical work parties, and we recommend warmer layers. As always, please dress for the weather and wear sturdy shoes.

Additional information will be emailed to registered participants. Register early, space is limited! If you sign up, please show up!
