TWIGS
TWIGS is an acronym for Task Workforce for Integrated Grounds
Support and is a very active, innovative volunteer group that
meets every Thursday, 9am until noon, at the Arboretum Nursery. This
group
includes two teams: a Design & Build team and a
Propagation Team.
The Design & Build Team continues to update the existing Arboretum
Nursery facilities to better utilize the area for more efficient
plant propagation, storage, and Plant Sale preparations.
The Propagation Team's goal is to design a nursery layout similar to a
commercial nursery in order to increase Plant Sale profits. They also
are setting up programs to do plant research, to work on fertilization,
to organize plant donations, and to maintain cutting-stock. They
currently have a successful propagation program in progress,
They're not an all-work-no-play group! They plan to tour gardens and
nurseries, have a plant exchange in September and invite speakers for
at least two educational meetings this year.
Both men
and women who are do-it-yourselfers and/or plant enthusiasts are welcomed!
Call 425.413.2572 or email Volunteer@LakeWildernessArboretum.org
for more information or just stop by on a Thursday morning and join in!
