Hello all! We're not letting up at the Nursery as summer rolls along, so I'm here to share our schedule for upcoming work parties. We're keeping the biweekly schedule for the foreseeable future and the start and end times are 2pm to 5pm. All events are held on Saturdays.
As a reminder, there is now a proper toilet (porta-potty type) on the premises. Training, gloves, tools & refreshments are provided. Weather appropriate clothing & good work boots are recommended - don't forget sun protection!

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Metchosin Foundation.
