Greetings!
A big thanks to each of you who helped us get through the May Mayhem last month. We have been busy with Mother's Day Celebrations, Plant Sales, Memorial Day Weekend, school groups and more. We could not do what we do without your help and we appreciate the time our volunteers give to TDG!
As always, we are in need of volunteers daily to serve as docents in our butterfly house and gardens. The visitor experience is a more special and educational one when we have volunteers on hand to share their knowledge with them. I hope that those of you with some flexibility in your summer schedules will consider signing up to volunteer a regular shift once a week. Please contact our Volunteer Manager (that's me!) if you are able and willing.
We also have a need for volunteers to assist with our upcoming Second-Chance Plant Sale, Gift Shop Inventory and Fancy Nancy Butterfly Tea Party. Please review the opportunities below.
Thanks!

| Calling All Master Gardeners! | | | Count those contacts!
Help TDG report accurate hours and contact numbers to our Dallas County Master Gardener's every month. Remember, there's a spot on every volunteer sheet to indicate if you are a MG and your contact numbers for your volunteer shift. Record your best estimate after every volunteer shift. If you are a greenhouse volunteer, don't worry about your contacts, but please be sure to record your MG status every entry!
