Learn to identify native plants by their winter features—and then learn how to prepare them for new spring growth. Emma Stephens of the Center for Urban Habitats will be teaching and directing volunteers for the first clean-up session of 2024 at The Quarry Gardens at Schuyler on Saturday, February 24, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Dress for the weather with sturdy closed shoes. Bring your favorite garden pruners. Water, snacks, and restrooms will be available in the Visitor Center. There will be a break for lunch at noon. All volunteers over the age of 10 are welcome.
For the remainder of the season until late November, volunteer workdays will be on Fridays with morning hours scheduled according to the weather. Volunteers who work 10 hours or more may earn status as official Friends of the Quarry Gardens.
