Heritage Gardeners looking for volunteers

North Bay Heritage Gardeners
News Release

***********************

The North Bay Heritage Gardeners are in their sixteenth year of working with the City of North Bay to maintain the Heritage Gardens at the waterfront. We are a group dedicated to developing a year-round community based educational, horticultural and environmental program. We focus on fostering pride and growth through enhancing and beautifying the North Bay Waterfront and other approved areas.

The Heritage Gardeners are looking to the public to fill a need for a few new gardening teams to look after the tone of the underpass beds and a couple of boardwalk beds. Gardening experience is not necessary as gardening education is provided through other team members, team leaders, Master Gardeners and through classroom educational sessions as well as through our monthly newsletter. Team Leaders are also needed to head up a couple of teams. Individuals with some gardening experience and knowledge would be able to fill the team leader volunteer position. Descriptions of volunteer tasks and positions are available on our website’s “volunteering” page.

The Heritage Gardeners also have a team of volunteers who take care of the weeds which pop up among the rocks along the break wall and we also have need for more volunteers to help out with that task. A “Weed Dragon” torch is used to burn off the weeds and training will be provided to interested individuals.
