Get Involved

We are here for the community and receive support from the community. We appreciate everyone who participates in our annual sales, attends events, and receives our newsletter. These are all amazing ways to support us. If you are looking to get more involved, advertising your business in our newsletter and volunteering your time for our events are two huge ways to help keep us going. Please check out the information below!

Volunteering:

We occasionally have events where we could use an extra set of hands (or two). Rather you’re a Master Gardener, Master Naturalist, college student, or a Coles County resident who is wanting to better their environment and community, we’d love to work with you!
