Help us keep the gardens at the LeDuc Historic Estate looking great throughout the year. We are searching for dedicated, garden-loving volunteers to help care for gardens on the property. We have a number of areas on site that are cared for by our garden volunteers. If you have an interest in flowers, rain gardens, general yard work, or heritage vegetable gardening then this is for you. The gardeners generally meet on Saturday mornings during the season to work on the garden and the grounds.
