Welcome Volunteers,

Join us each Saturday in April for our annual Spring Native Plant Sale at Ruffner Mountain Nature! This is a highly anticipated event that many native plant enthusiasts look forward to, so we'll need as many helpers as we can get each Saturday.

Volunteer roles include holding plants for customers in our plant holding area, loading purchased plant orders into cars, and assisting shoppers with your plant knowledge. Shifts start at 9:30 am and end around 2:00, so please plan to arrive on time.

*We will also be having a member-exclusive pre-sale the on April 4th, from 8:00 am - 10:00 am. Volunteers who sign up for the fist shift this weekend should arrive by 7:30 for a short briefing.

We will provide water, coffee, snacks, free lunch, and one free native plant of your choosing per shift for volunteers who sign up. Register below!
