07/09 Citywide Nursery Gardening

Wednesday, July 9, 2025

9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.

Join the Stewardship team and staff at Citywide Nursery to maintain our plant hoop houses and pot up perennials into larger grow pots. No experience necessary, staff will walk you through every part of the project. Come dressed in sturdy boots or shoes, long pants, and clothing that can get dirty. Please make sure to wear proper footwear as the nursery is very muddy and dusty. Space is limited and registration is required. This work is best suited for volunteers ages 13 and up. To sign up a group of 10 or more volunteers please reach out to stewardship@parks.nyc.gov.
