Learn general "in the dirt" gardening skills such as seed gathering and cleaning, plant propagation and maintenance best practices when you volunteer at the Mercer Botanic Gardens greenhouses and potting shed. The greenhouses contain a variety of botanical beauties that, when planted, delight the visiting public in the gardens. We currently have a few openings on Wednesday mornings from 9 a.m. to noon. You will be working with the greenhouse manager and other volunteers.
