    Description

    Spring Planting of Seedlings

    🌱 WE NEED HELP PLANTING — DIG IN WITH US 🌱

    This is the moment where it all comes together! April is our big push to get ready for the Spring Plant Sale Fundraiser, and every plant we pot is one step toward something bigger—supporting Lepidoptera, rebuilding habitat, and putting more life back into the environment we all share. This work matters. And it’s actually really fun!

    Right now, we could use some extra hands to help us with planting our winter seedlings.

    We’re planting every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday in April:

    Mornings: 9–11 AM

    Afternoons: 1–3 PM

    No experience needed—we’ll show you everything. You just show up. We’ll be outside under the canopy tent, getting our hands in the dirt, talking plants, and making this fundraiser happen together.

    And yes… on some days there will be homemade pizza by our Executive Director 🍕 And their signature browned butter sweet potato cinnamon rolls have been described as life changing! Let us know in comments when you sign-up if you'd like either.

    If you’ve been looking for a way to do something real, something joyful, something that actually helps—this is it! We're an entirely volunteer organization meaning no one is paid. All money raised is used for our programs and services such as The Hillsborough Moth Crawl, Plant Grant Program, Caterpillar Support Program, and more!
