Description

Work side-by-side with members of Brucemore’s Landscape team in the cutting garden to prep the space for winter during this volunteer opportunity! Volunteers will pick up and clear out pumpkin vines, flowers, and weeds from the garden. The best part? Any pumpkins you find while helping in the garden are yours to take home, just in time for Halloween! During the break, volunteers can enjoy cider, coffee, and other fall treats, as well as pick up some expert advice from Brucemore staff on how to prepare your own garden spaces for winter.
