Springtime is approaching and we need your help to keep Waterloo Park beautiful and thriving! In these hands-on volunteer workshops, you’ll learn how to cut back herbaceous perennials, groundcovers, shrubs, and grasses throughout the park, all while meeting other plant-loving experts and community members.

We kindly ask that you wear appropriate clothing and bring any of the following tools/equipment you may have at home!

• Water Bottle 
• Gloves
• Knee pads
• Closed toe shoes
• Hand pruners
• Pruning Shears
• Rake

A limited selection of these items will be available onsite. No power tools, please! If you have any questions, please contact Waterloo Greenway’s Horticulture Supervisor Adriane Horne at [email protected] or Park Operations Coordinator Todd Ruff at [email protected]

Space is limited. This opportunity is open to people of all ages—any children who participate must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Participants must be comfortable working outdoors, navigating uneven surfaces, standing, kneeling, crouching, and lifting.
