Drop In Potting Party!
Join us for a casual drop in potting party on April 13th from 1-4pm! We still have plants that need to be potted even after all of our volunteers’ hard work this season. No registration required, just drop by if you feel like it! We will provide gloves, but make sure to dress for the weather, it can get very windy and chilly out at the nursery!
