The Beautification Brigade takes care of public flower plantings in Ithaca. Have fun, learn gardening techniques, and help keep Ithaca gorgeous. No experience required.

The Orientation will be about an hour long, with time for any questions at the end. We will introduce you to the Beautification Program and our sites, share information about our volunteer sessions and how to register, and show the short, CCE-mandated training video for all volunteers. The orientation will take place in person at Cornell Cooperative Extension Tompkins County, in Room A, on Wednesday March 29, 2023. (PLEASE NOTE: The orientation session on Wed. March 22 is now full! Still plenty of space on March 29!)

You only need to attend one of the orientation meetings. The information presented will be the same on both dates. Due to space constraints, the orientation can only accommodate up to 25 people. Please register early to ensure a space. Registration will close on March 29, or when capacity is reached.
