Native Plant Garden Maintenance at the OSU 4H garden
Several times a year, we do maintenance work at the Wild Ones native planting at the OSU 4H garden. Experience with native plants, a shovel, trowel, or weeding implement is helpful, but not required. All joking aside, you do not need to be a member to volunteer, and if you know very little about native plants, it’s a good way to learn about native plants and find out what we’re all about.
