Nursery Shrub Care Workday (Moderate Intensity)

Help us care for the trees and shrubs in our nursery! Participants will work together with OCF AmeriCorps members to transplant growing trees and shrubs from flats or containers into larger containers, cull plants that didn't make it, scrub and sanitize re-usable containers to prepare for transplanting, mix potting soil for different stages of plant development, or assist with invasive species removal at the nursery and other common nursery tasks. No experience is necessary, just a willingness to work with others while enjoying being outside! This is a great opportunity to gain hands-on nursery and landscape experience while supporting a good cause.

This event is for all ages, for other possible events check out our Eventbrite page!
