Volunteer
Volunteers make things happen. See how you can be a part of Congdon Gardens:
All of us at Congdon Gardens value our volunteers. It is each volunteer in partnership with the City of Delavan who help keep the gardens beautiful and enjoyable for all who walk among them. Our way of saying thank you is through our Volunteer Appreciation Brick opportunity. Volunteers have the choice of adopting a garden to care for or choose various areas that need
some love and tending to throughout the season. Volunteers are welcome to come at your convenience, working around your personal schedule and/or join our fun and friendly group of volunteers who meet weekly. All it takes is 100 volunteer hours accumulated over one or many seasons. Please contact Brian Balsewicz at bbals66@yahoo.com or Nancy Hendrickson at nalo2010@live.com OR pick up an informational flyer at Congdon Gardens located in the glass informational box by the entrance. Then, set up a time to meet a member at Congdon Garden for a tour and some easy planning.
Garden Maintenance
Volunteers are integral to the Gardens’ success because they provide a large part of the Gardens’ upkeep. While nurturing the plants, individuals learn, grow, and make new friends.
Activities include weeding and simple maintenance. Volunteers may work singly, in pairs, on teams of their own choice or be linked up with others. Scheduling is flexible and can involve as little as two hours a week, preferably at a specific time.
Additional ways to contribute:

Congdon Gardens is expanding its activities and events and looking for people who’d like to join us in creating, organizing, publicizing and producing “something special.” If you have skills in this area or would enjoy learning here is your opportunity to create, grow and enjoy. In addition volunteers are often needed for greeting, parking cars, etc.
