Join us one Saturday a month from April through October each year, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. to help care for the award-winning native demonstration garden at the Merriman Hollow Recreation Area in Hines Park. The site is on Hines Drive at the Merriman entrance between Ann Arbor Trail and Warren (where you enter for the Holiday light show in December).
There is currently constructions happening on Merriman Road over Hines Drive, please access from Ann Arbor Trail, just north of the entrance to the park. Ongoing construction in the area and workday plans are subject to change- please check the website 1 week ahead of time or look out for an email from Jenny for any changes to location or work. Due to construction at the Merriman Road entrance to Hines Drive, please use the Middlebelt Road or Ann Arbor Trail entrances. Meet at the pavilion at Merriman Hollow Park. Ample parking and restrooms nearby.
All are welcome, kids in elementary school should be accompanied by an adult. Please dress for outdoor gardening work and bring gloves, gardening tools, sunscreen, bug spray and something to drink.
All workdays are planned for Saturdays from 9 am to Noon. We are looking to have at least 25 volunteers per event (no limit on volunteers). Please contact Jennifer Petoskey for any questions or concerns: [email protected] or 734-637-1284.
