You’re invited to join us at the Arboretum at Tanglewood Park for evening volunteer workdays in 2025. We are happy to welcome community members into the garden to work with us on Thursdays from May through August.

This year, we will hold four evening workdays at the Arboretum. Volunteers will assist with a variety of garden activities, including weeding, planting, mulching, and more! No experience is necessary - we will have experienced gardeners present to help you learn. This is a great introduction to volunteering with Extension and for anyone interested in joining the Extension Master Gardener volunteer Program.

Volunteers are invited to join us on Thursdays from 5:45 to 7:30 PM on the following dates:

May 15  - May registration

June 19 - June registration

July 17 

August 21

Please to plan to bring water and dress for gardening. Bring your favorite tools and gardening gloves, or borrow from us. Please see our Eventbrite page (go.ncsu.edu/forsyth-eventbrite) to register and for more details. Registration for each date will open at least 2 weeks prior to the event on our Eventbrite page.
