Parks and Rec calling all green thumbs

Volunteers are helping plant seeds at the Des Moines Parks and Recreation Department greenhouse. The department relies on volunteers each year to help with plants in Des Moines' parks, boulevards, medians, and downtown planters. There are volunteer shifts available between now and May 14.

To volunteer with the Parks and Recreation Department, send an e-mail to parksvolunteer@dmgov .org or call 248-6380.
