Cornell Cooperative Extension Tompkins County

Volunteer Work & Learning Sessions at ICG

Drop in at the Ithaca Children's Garden for volunteer work and learning sessions on Monday evenings 5:00-7:00pm from May 16 - June 27.  Volunteers will work with the guidance of a professional horticulturist Linda Yannone to get the garden in shape this season.  Come once or several times to learn gardening basics hands-on, or simply to help the Children's Garden look its best.  All ages & skill levels welcome.  No gardening experience required.  For more information, contact Leigh MacDonald-Rizzo, Garden Manager at (607) 272-2292 x186, or lam26@cornell.edu.

Horticulturist Linda Yannone has studied at the Institute for Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook and New York Botanical Garden, and holds a bachelor's degree in plant science, a master's in teaching in agriculture, and an MPS in horticulture, all from Cornell University. She owns Gardenella, a small garden design and estate maintenance company with special attention to native and medicinal plants, based in Ithaca, NY and Sherman, CT, and has been gardening for over 25 years.
