Meerkerk in Greenbank needs cheerful volunteers


February 27, 2012 · Updated 8:39 AM 

Whidbey’s unique woodland garden slowly awakens from another winter’s sleep. All are invited to join their team of cheerful volunteers in this gorgeous garden setting. Whatever your talent, please use it to help support this gift given to us by Ann and Max Meerkerk.

There are indoor activities every day or work from home; there are outside work parties every Thursday from 9 a.m. to noon, lunch provided; and the second Saturday of every month from 9 to noon, culminated by a potluck lunch. No previous gardening or horticultural experience required.

For more information, contact 678-1912, 360-222-0121, meerkerk@whidbey.net or visit www.meerkerkgardens.org. Joan Bell is operations manager. The garden is located at 3531 Meerkerk Ln., Greenbank.
