Volunteers do a variety of work. Some tasks do not involve working directly with plants. Possible tasks include:

  • Sweep floors
  • Empty garbage cans from rooms and headhouse
  • Distribute garbage cans to individual rooms and selected locations
  • Put clean pots away
  • Organize and consolidate clean flats, pots and other containers
  • Organize and consolidate dirty pots
  • Organize glassware and plastic beakers
  • Fill soil bins (be sure to use the correct bag and do not bury the scoop)
  • Check and tighten all quick couplers for hoses and nozzles
  • Reread greenhouse guidelines
  • Check with greenhouse staff to help with pest problems
  • Take initiative!
