  Work Party Schedule

  Work party scheduling is dependent upon the needs within the various garden components, such as weeding the native plant borders, taking care of the food bank gardens, planting, turning compost as the bins fill.  If you would like to volunteer for a work party, just come to the work party on the assigned date. During the Winter months check with the contact person listed to verify a work party. If it is your first time, there are orientation information flyers available at the sign in table.  Park policy requires that  you to register as a volunteer by providing contact information and the hours worked for record keeping purposes. For additional information about volunteering, see Seattle Parks and Recreation Volunteer Information. We are always delighted to see new volunteers, even if it is only for a short time.
