Our normal 3rd Saturday Workday schedule has started for 2026 as winter is winding down and maintenance needs and projects in the Gardens are resuming. Our next scheduled Saturday workday and garden party will be on March 21st starting at 9:30am and the garden party beginning at noon. Over the winter our functional committees and teams have continued to do the behind the scenes work of coordinating future programs, developing our 2026 budget, and applying for a number of grants. The trail creation efforts in the Woodland Shade garden will continue with winter meetings to plan and cost out a multi-purpose deck — that feature will be started next spring, if we get a grant.
And, over the winter we have had some great free Adult Education Presentations that Marshall Native Gardens to offer. See details on upcoming presentations and garden volunteer events list below or
