Earth Sangha Office at 5101-i Backlick Road, Annandale VA 22003
Sundays 2/2, 2/9, 2/16 & 2/23 and Mondays 2/3, 2/10, & 2/24
9 am – 12 pm
Register here to volunteer.

After a busy year of seed collecting, it’s time to go inside for some seed cleaning! Take a seat around the table and help Earth Sangha clean stems and chaff from the seeds their staff has collected from wild local eco-type plants (with permission!). The seeds will be sown, grown at their nursery, and the new plants will eventually make their way to restoration sites and private lands. These events will take place inside and can result in dust/allergens so if you have a sensitive respiratory system it may be a good idea to bring a mask.

If you have any questions about volunteering at the office, contact Maddie at [email protected] or call 703.859.2951.
