Help keep Queens Botanical Garden clean, green, and growing! Join QBG's horticulture staff for an engaging, educational event where you will learn gardening basics and work hands-on with plants. Make new friends and put your green thumb to good use in a variety of seasonal projects, including weeding, watering, pruning, planting, mulching, and more! Explore the beauty of QBG’s ever-changing scenery as our flowers bloom, trees grow, and community comes together. 

Depending on the season and need, garden activities might include raking, mulching, weeding, planting bulbs, tree care, garden bed maintenance, pruning, and more. Participants must be able to bend and lift items that weigh 10 pounds. Dress for the weather and plan to get your hands and clothes dirty!
