Satinflower Nurseries: October Volunteering in Saanich
Friday, October 11, from 1:00–3:30 pm.
Join us for a fun afternoon of potting up native plants at our Saanich nursery on Friday, October 11, from 1:00–3:30 pm.
This is an important time to prepare our plants for upcoming restoration projects and garden installations across the region. As a volunteer, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at how we grow native plants, learn tips about different species, and contribute directly to conservation work in our community. We’ll work together to pot up seedlings while sharing knowledge, stories, and good conversation.
