About this event

Give some TLC to Del Ray Artisans’ gardens! Join the Gardens Committee to spruce up the landscaping around the gallery. Bring gloves, knee pads (if desired), and laughter. Even if you don’t know what a weed is, we can teach you. Volunteer for 1 hour or the whole 2.5 hours. If you have any questions, please email Jenny at Gardens@DelRayArtisans.org . MEMBERS: This task counts towards your annual membership volunteer hours ( record your hours ). NON-MEMBERS: You are welcome to come help and learn too. Save the Dates: During the season (March-October), the committee meets once a month on a weekend day from 9am-11am. In July and August, we’ll meet an hour earlier (8am-10am) to avoid the heat. Our 2026 dates are: Saturday, May 16, 9:00 to 11:00 am Saturday, June 13, 9:00 to 11:00 am Sunday, July 12, 8:00 to 10:00 am (earlier due to heat) Saturday, August 15, 8:00 to 10:00 am (earlier due to heat) Saturday, September 19, 9:00 to 11:00 am (tidy up the garden for Art on the Avenue) Saturday, October 17, 9:00 to 11:00 am Thank you for your volunteer time! NOTE: All plantings and transplantings must be approved by the Garden Committee. The Garden Committee approval is important to make sure the plants that get chosen are great for nature, located properly for the right amount of sun or shade, don’t conflict with other plants or facility needs, and fit into the overall garden plan with maintenance in mind.
