About this Event

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!

Parking Details: Street parking is available on McKendrie St and Ruff Dr. Please avoid parking along Spring St, which is known to be checked, and vehicles parked there will be ticketed.
