RAIN DATE IN EFFECT
Due to heavy rain on Sunday, Feb. 15, 2026 that is expected to persist all day, our Sunday workday at Old City Gardens has been POSTPONED to Monday, Feb. 16, 2026 from 12pm to 5pm.
------
Come help us start growing native plants for our 2026 Native Plant Sale (May 2, Suttree's Landing Park, 10a-2p), and for donation to Knox County Parks (for Angora Frog Farm Kids/Dogs Pocket Park)! Volunteers throughout this process will go home with some FREE native plants at the Plant Sale!
We will be cutting, clearing tall invasive plants from our growing site. We will also be filling plug trays and pots with growing medium, seeding into them, and labeling them.
We are actively collecting used plant pots smaller than 1 gallon (the smaller the better.) Bring your extra pots!
Other things that you may want to bring: gloves, clippers, hand trimmers, loppers.
Please feel free to drop in whenever you are available during the timeframe, for as long as little as you're able.
THANK YOU for donating your personal time to helping us get our resources GROWING!
Thanks also go to Old City Gardens for giving the opportunity to grow in their space.
