I think it was a lot of fun volunteering at the Zilker Botanical Garden. We were instructed what to do by a warm and friendly staff member, who gladly helped us. We picked up where the previous volunteer group had finished and began by splitting the work between groups. My group worked together to scoop a pile mulch onto wheelbarrows, spread it around the children children's playground, and rake it into place. We were even given masks due to a lot of dust clouds. Afterwards, we were allowed to tour the beautiful garden, my favorite was the Japanese garden!
