Volunteers

Uplands’ volunteers are a key to its success. Since its inception, the centre has relied on a pool of dedicated volunteers to accomplish a variety of tasks. Volunteers are responsible for planting Uplands numerous flowers beds in the Spring as well as preparing the gardens for winter in the fall. Volunteers are on hand to help out during special events such as concerts, open houses, workshops, and decorating the house for Christmas, and make it possible for the center to be open Sunday afternoons. Only a few hours a month is all it takes!
