Event Date
Thank you for considering attending a Community Volunteer Day with the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden! Volunteer days are a great way to give back, meet other members of the community who enjoy volunteering and gardening, and experience the therapeutic effects of spending time in nature. No prior gardening experience is needed to participate, and everyone over the age of 18 is welcome regardless of your affiliation with UC Davis.
Our April volunteer day will take place on Saturday April 12th from 8:30 to 11:00 a.m. (please note: this is the same day as Picnic Day and we have moved the start time up by 1 hour to try to avoid crowds!). The workday will take place in the Arboretum Terrace Garden, a very special garden located in the Davis Commons Shopping Center but managed by the Arboretum and Public Garden. We have been renovating this garden in preparation for opening it up to the public later this spring and we can use some extra help finishing sprucing things up!
Parking: Parking is expected to be significantly impacted by Picnic Day festivities. You are strongly encouraged to bike or carpool to the volunteer day! Additionally, the Davis Commons Parking lot adjacent to the garden and shopping center has a strict two hour time limit. Participants who do drive are encouraged to parking Parking Lot 5 or 10 and walk through the Australian collection back to the Terrace Garden.
