Ashton House Garden Volunteers Needed

If you’d like to:

  • spend some healthy time outside in beautiful surroundings along the Iowa River
  • hone your gardening skills — even if you don’t have a garden
  • meet other gardening enthusiasts
  • contribute to the beauty of your community

Then please consider joining Project GREEN as a Garden Volunteer. The beautiful Project GREEN Gardens at Ashton House are maintained by Project GREEN volunteers, and we’d love for you to join us!

Volunteers are needed Monday mornings, May through October, from 9 – 11 a.m. Volunteers are asked to bring gardening tools for weeding and planting efforts (although if you don’t own any gardening tools, we usually have a few extras on hand).

Progress looks good!

Ashton House is located at 820 Park Road.

Please contact Diane Allen (319-430-6649 or dlallen16@hotmail.com) to find out more details, and to be included in the weekly email communication about work sessions.

Our fun group of volunteers works on Monday mornings at Ashton House through fall, and we often visit other volunteers’ gardens after the work session for impromptu garden tours. Everyone is welcome!
