About this event
A morning with the gardeners at Queens Botanical Garden: weeding, mulching, cutting back and putting the beds to bed for winter, all under the horticulture team's direction. It is hands-in-the-soil work rather than a tour, and it gets you inside a garden that normally charges admission, among people who know every plant by name.
Why we picked it
Free access to a paid-admission garden in exchange for a morning's honest work alongside its gardeners.
Free entry
Listing states 'FREE.' for the volunteer day itself; general Queens Botanical Garden admission is otherwise 6 USD for adults.
