Mercer Botanic Gardens Volunteer Orientation

Do you want to give back to your community, need volunteer hours for school, or just love the outdoors and have an interest in Gulf Coast flora? Mercer Botanic Gardens offers a variety of volunteer opportunities at three facilities within a mile of the gardens. Join them for a volunteer orientation to discover everything they have to offer, from helping maintain their gardens, to plant propagation and sales, to educational programs and the Mercer Ambassadors. This orientation will be off site at the Timber Lane Community Center, approximately two miles from Mercer, at 1904 Naplechase Crest Drive in Spring. Participants must be 16 or older or 12-15 if accompanied by a parent or guardian. Registration is required, as space is limited. Registration opens at 9 a.m., Friday, Jan. 7. Online registration closes 48 hours prior to the event. For more information, call 713-274-4160.
