Join us for some hands-on gardening experience at the Hauck Botanic Garden. This 100-year-old public park serves as our outdoor classroom and the backdrop for everything we do. And it’s all thanks to volunteers like you! 

This week will look a little different than our usual workday. We’re hosting a BioBlitz! What exactly is a BioBlitz? It’s a citizen science event to find and identify the plant species growing in our garden. If you’ve never participated in citizen science before, here’s your chance! Help us build our plant catalog and practice your nature photography skills too.

No prior knowledge or skills needed. Whether you’re totally new to gardening or have many years of experience this workday is for you! The ability to kneel and use hand tools is recommended but not required. Please bring gloves if you have them and a water bottle. Wear closed-toe shoes and clothes you’re comfortable getting dirty. All other tools and materials will be provided.

This event is part of our 2025 Volunteer-A-Thon!
