Description
Oak Spring Garden Foundation will welcome volunteers to the Biocultural Garden, located inside the historic walled garden. You are invited to join us! Volunteers participate in growing heirloom vegetable crops for seed saving, and gathering plant materials for our LEO team (Local Education & Outreach). These materials include fiber plants, natural dye plants, medicinal herbs, and flowers for drying.
Volunteer duties will change with the season. We begin with planting and establishing beds, continue with light weeding, pruning and trellising tomatoes, harvesting flowers and plant material, and conclude the season with seed processing and storage. In the 2025 season, our seed saving focus will be on heirloom tomatoes, sweet peppers, and dry beans.
