VOLUNTEER DAY: Heartwood’s Helpers

 

Want to be a Heartwood Helper?

 

Join Jonathan Sunday, May 16th at 9 AM to help with Heartwood’s BUTTERFLY GARDEN!

 

 

Volunteers needed to help revamp the Heartwood pollinator garden.

We will briefly discuss the ecological importance of native flowering plants to local pollinators with the hope that this helps inspire attendees to create their own pollinator friendly food sources.

We will provide coffee, a light breakfast and water, but please bring your own water bottle, sunscreen and/or bug spray if you need it.

Ages 5+

Sunday, May 16th, 9 AM – 12:00 PM (or whenever we finish planting all our plants)

CANCELED: Talk & Tour: Tree Planting

CANCELED!

Our March Talk & Tour is all about planting trees.

This hands-on event will be led by Certified Arborist Joe Gross.

  • Learn how to properly plant and care for trees and shrubs.

  • Find out what a “root ball” is

  • Plant a tree or shrub in one of our designated planting areas

  • Learn why we don’t plant trees on the graves

Our “tree leader” for this talk is Mr. Joe Gross. Joe is a native Floridian and USF graduate (Criminology BA and MPA).

He has served in regulatory capacities for several jurisdictions within the Tampa Bay region and joined Hillsborough County in 2015.

He has been a Certified Arborist for over twenty years and is also a Master Naturalist and Master Gardener.

  • Good attire for planting: gardening gloves, light breathable clothing, sunscreen, insect repellent, sunhat, closed toed shoes
  • Bad attire for planting: sandals, opened-toe shoes, white sneakers, and basically any garment that is afraid to get dirty.
  • All tools needed to plant trees will be provided. However, if you have a shovel, please bring it.
  • Restrooms and water fountain are available. Snacks will be provided.
  • PETS: We love pets, but for their safety and the safety of others, please leave them at home when you are attending Talk & Tours.
*Bring a refillable water bottle
