VOLUNTEERS NEEDED – FRIENDS OF THE ROBBINS TOWN GARDENS
FALL CLEANUP, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2025
Fall has arrived, and in the Town Garden between the Town Hall and the Robbins Library there are many leaves, black walnuts, and other debris that require pickup and bagging to prepare the Garden for winter. To achieve this goal, we are calling on volunteers to join our annual Fall Cleanup of the Garden:
Saturday, November 1, 2025, from 10 AM – 2 PM
(Rain date: Saturday, November 8, 2025)
Snacks and Fun!
We will have snacks and beverages, and plan to have fun while getting some much-needed work accomplished. People of all ages who enjoy gardening are welcome to attend. We have tools, but it is always helpful if folks can bring gardening gloves, a rake and clippers with the owner’s name/identifying marker on them. If you can help out with our Fall Cleanup, please email FRTG2018@gmail.com to let us know, and to ask any questions.
We look forward to seeing you in the Town Gardens on November 1!

If you would like to be added to our email list, please send us your email address.
And be sure to add us to your contacts so our emails won’t go to spam.
