NatureScaping of SW Washington is holding our annual Bare Root Trees, Shrubs & Perennial fundraiser in the field behind the Wildlife Botanical Gardens located at 11000 NE 149th Street, Brush Prairie on Saturday, April 27th from 9am-4:00pm and Sunday April 28th from 10am to 3pm.

 

Our success depends upon our volunteers; we still have some positions to fill on either/both days--please consider helping. This is our big fundraising event of the year to maintain our programs, and it takes lots of volunteers before and during the sale event! 

To volunteer we are using SignUpGenius.

Dates and shift times for the following tasks are listed on the SignUp Genius link above.

Here is a brief listing/description of some of the various jobs we will need to fill on sale days. As you can infer, some jobs are more physical than others.

Greeter/Check In:  Distribute plant lists, guide new customers to the sales area, check for receipts. Check in volunteers at the beginning of shifts.

Field Helper: Help customers with selections, help pull plants from trenches, keep rows neat by moving soil back into trenches after plants are removed. Master Gardeners will be onsite to help answer customer questions on tree/shrub care.
Holding area: "Check in" and hold plant loads while people continue to shop
Bagger: Dip bare root trees in water, place into bags.
Checker: Write up sales slips for cashiers.  All pricing is pre-printed, just mark quantities.

Volunteers working a 4 hour shift will receive a complimentary bare root tree, shrub (only those varieties with quantities of 10 or more) or perennial.

 

Confirmed volunteers on SignUp Genius will receive further information in early April on volunteers’ orientation, job descriptions and free plant pick up.

Thank you and if you have any questions please contact Meredith Hardin, President at: volunteers@naturescaping.org
