Saturdays in the Soil

Every third Saturday of the month, we invite volunteers to come together as a community to steward Tyrrell Park through the City’s Adopt-A-Park program. During this volunteering event, you’ll get your hands dirty assisting with the maintenance of the park, our pollinator garden, and Pilkington Creek, while gaining insights into local ecology, native plants, and sustainable gardening from Museum Gardener, Laura Kummerer.

Saturdays in the Soil happen every third Saturday of the month.

​Sign up via Volgistics or email volunteer@santacruzmuseum.org to register.
