Blossom Brigade at Mercer Botanic Gardens

Nature lovers and community volunteers are invited to roll up their sleeves for a rewarding morning at the Blossom Brigade Volunteer Day, happening June 25 from 9–11:30 AM at Mercer Botanic Gardens. This hands-on garden volunteer opportunity offers a unique way to connect with the environment while helping preserve one of Houston’s most beloved natural spaces.

Mercer Botanic Gardens is a horticultural oasis known for its themed gardens, native plant conservation, and educational programs. The Blossom Brigade gives participants age 16 and up the chance to work directly alongside staff to support the gardens’ mission.

• Planting in the pollinator tiers to support local butterflies and bees
• Collecting seeds for seasonal propagation and conservation
• General garden tasks to help maintain Mercer’s vibrant landscapes

No registration is required—simply meet in front of the Mercer Visitor Center to join in. Whether you're searching for free things to do in Humble, TX, looking for volunteer opportunities near Houston, or just hoping to spend time outdoors, this event is a perfect fit.
