Garden Workday at W.G. Lunney Lake Farm

Join us to help clean up and maintain the native pollinator gardens throughout W.G. Lunney Lake Farm County Park. We will be doing some light weeding, watering, and other gardening tasks as needed. This opportunity gives you the chance to get outdoors during the beautiful spring and summer season and learn about native WI plants, the benefits of native gardens, and our local pollinator species.
