Nursery Workday (Medium to High Intensity)

We will start our day with a tour of our Community Nursery. Then, volunteers will work together with OCF AmeriCorps members to perform tasks around the nursery. This is a moderate-high intensity event.

No experience necessary, just a willingness to work with others while enjoying the outside. Great opportunity to gain hands-on nursery and landscape experience while supporting a good cause!

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