Busy Bees Volunteer Program

Volunteer as a Busy Bee!

Join Reading Public Library's very own garden club! This free club welcomes everyone, regardless of experience or time availability. All you need is curiosity about gardens and nature.  The goal for 2025 is to nurture the native and sensory gardens outside the library and work toward getting these spaces certified as a Wildlife Habitat.

Join our community of plant lovers and help bring RPL’s gardens to life! Whether you have a green thumb or are just starting out, there’s a perfect spot for you in our gardening family.
Want to dip your toes in? Sign up for occasional watering shifts. Ready to dig deeper? Share your gardening experience as we create native and sustainable green spaces at RPL. Everyone is welcome, regardless of age, ability, or experience!

The best part? You’ll connect with fellow nature enthusiasts at our regular meet-ups and workshops. Share tips, learn new skills, and be part of a growing community passionate about nature, health, and sustainability. Come grow with us!
