Volunteer at Spring Affair!
It takes a village to put on an event like Spring Affair, and we certainly couldn't do it without our many volunteers. We have lots of roles to fill, from plant "babysitters," waterers and restockers to cashiers, customer service helpers, plant movers and more. Plus, as a Spring Affair volunteer, you're invited to shop for plants BEFORE the sale starts on Thursday afternoon.
Spring Affair is in the air...come join the fun!
