About this Event
Volunteers are invited to participate in our upcoming Community Gardening Events at the Roberto Adobe & Sunol House Museum Garden. Participants will assist with removing invasive weeds throughout the site and help bag trash and debris along the pathways and surrounding areas. These activities play an important role in maintaining the health, appearance, and educational value of the museum’s native plant landscape.
As part of the day’s work, volunteers will also help plant yerba buena (Clinopodium douglasii) cuttings from the garden into individual pots. These propagated plants will be cared for over the spring and summer and shared with the community during our fall programs, supporting broader access to locally native species and strengthening public engagement with the site’s ethnobotanical history. To ensure a comfortable and productive experience, we will provide two dozen hori hori knives for weeding, foam knee pads, gloves, and masks for all participants.
All volunteers will be offered water, fruit, and locally native seeds and potted plants. We are grateful for the community’s continued support in caring for this culturally and ecologically significant museum garden.

Afterwards, tour the Roberto Adobe and Sunol House, which is a historic museum certified as an Interpretive Site of the Anza Trail and included in the Passport 2 History program. The site remains an important landmark focusing on Indigenous, Spanish, Mexican, and United States histories.
