The Cultivators Council is the leadership group of the Cultivators and operates under the umbrella of Waterfront Botanical Gardens. The goal of the Council is to promote and advocate for the Waterfront Botanical Gardens project within a younger demographic through monthly, consistent, and free touch-base events with a focus on education, conservation, community, and fun.

August 14

10am-12pm

On the second Saturdays of the month from 10am-12pm, the Cultivators of WBG help the horticulture team with a project at the site. This could include mulching, removing invasive species, weeding, or any other outdoor task.
Please dress for the weather and working outdoors. Closed-toe shoes only. Bring garden/work gloves and a water.
MASKS REQUIRED.
Please maintain appropriate physical distance while working.
Tasks are rain or shine unless the weather is very, very bad.
TBD! JULY SOMETIME!
West 6TH Brewing in NuLu
7-9pm (questions begin at 7pm, earlier arrival is advised)
Join the Cultivators at West 6th in NuLu for assorted general knowledge trivia (and banter!) with hosts Allison Whitehouse and Brandon Harwood.
6 people per team (though $1 to the Cult jar for each additional player might convince us otherwise…)
Surprise giveaways and prizes!
Answers will be submitted virtually, which we will explain that evening, so as to avoid unnecessary pens, paper, and touching. We still want to be as safe as possible in a group setting.
Tell your friends!
Come have fun with us!
