Join a garden team in 2023, experience the positive impact gardening has on your life, your health and our environment.
Part of our mission at Collier County Parks & Recreation is to protect and sustain our environment. In addition to our more well known sports fields and playgrounds, we also maintain tranquil garden spaces in several parks, with room to grow! Currently, the largest is the butterfly garden at North Collier Regional Park, full of colorful plants important to our native butterflies. Garden Brochure
Our volunteer garden program is more than just having fun in the dirt surrounded by beautiful flowers and nature. This program is about raising awareness about pollinators, educating the public and learning about Florida native plants and butterflies. Inquire about how you can be part of this amazing and environmentally impactful program today. We are growing a new team for Veterans Community park and invite you to join us to make a difference for our environment and our community.
