Join the Museum for a very special community gardening day, as we team up with the Santa Cruz County Chapter of the Society for Conservation Biology!
Dig in and flex your green thumb as we tackle invasive species in Pilkington Creek and plant native species in the Museum’s Garden Learning Center. Learn from horticultural experts about local ecology, native plants and pollinators, plus sustainable gardening practices. It’s time to volunteer and get your hands dirty!
Every third Saturday at the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History
Email volunteer@santacruzmuseum.org to RSVP. Space is limited.
