Gardens of Madison County Volunteer Form

Required

 

We would like to invite and encourage each MRA family to participate in our 28th Annual Gardens of Madison County May 5 -7, 2023. This is a school-wide event that not only allows us to raise funds, but also provides MRA with additional opportunities to partner with our wonderful community. The event is scheduled to start on Friday, May 5th, 2023, with the annual Garden Party followed by the Garden Tour on May 6th and May 7th, 2023. We need the support of all MRA patrons with this event as it continues to grow each year. Please take a moment to look over the committees below and sign up to help with this event. It takes all of us to make it happen, and we need your help! Please send any questions or inquiries to gardens@mrapats.org. We look forward to hearing from you and thanks in advance for your help!
