Weekdays in Spring and Fall: Botany Adventure Guides
Help our island school children discover the magic and mysteries of the plant world! We provide you with all the training, materials and support you need. You choose to guide tours based on what’s best for your schedule. 2010 spring training for guides begins April 19.
Monday, April 19, 9:30-12 – Guest Speaker
Tuesday, April 20, 9:30-12 – Training for The Polinators, Plants and You tour for students in grades 3-5
Wednesday, April 21, 9:30-12 – Training for the new Plants Alive tour for students in grades K-2
You do not have to repeat any training that you’ve already had, but are welcome at any session to freshen up. New guides are welcome to shadow or share a tour with a more experienced guide.
For more information on the Botany Adventure program, see the Youth Programs page or contact Deborah Smith at deborah@meerkerkgardens.org or 360-222-3382.
If you prefer to work indoors, we are launching our plant sign initiative in February. Work in the cozy volunteer cottage on the new computerized engraving machine.
Like to make crafts? Several people are interested in organizing a monthly craft group at Meerkerk. Things to do include: making things for sale in the Gatehouse this spring such as photo cards, woodland fairy kits, seed starting packets, hand made paper cards with seeds in them...the possibilities are as creative as the team wishes to be!!
