Earth Day Garden Cleanup at The Voelker Orth Museum: What to Expect ???? Celebrate Earth Day in Flushing with a meaningful volunteer event at the Voelker Orth Museum, a historic gem nestled in a tranquil Victorian-era property. On Earth Day, community members are invited to lend a hand in the garden, working alongside museum staff and fellow neighbors to clean, weed, and prep the bird-friendly horticultural spaces. Volunteers will enjoy fresh air, friendly guidance, and the opportunity to learn about native plants and sustainable gardening techniques. The museum’s peaceful garden—a lush sanctuary amid city streets—set the scene for environmental action and community connection. Tools and supplies are provided. Come prepared to get your hands dirty, meet new friends, and help nurture one of Flushing’s most beautiful green spaces! Don’t forget: The Voelker Orth Museum is dedicated to preserving local history and nature, so you’ll be volunteering in a place that matters.
