Mercer Botanic Gardens was significantly impacted not only by Hurricane Harvey in August of 2017 but also by flooding in the prior two years. Our partnership with Mercer will allow us to clear 4.5 acres of overgrown vegetation, tree stumps, sand and silt, and rebuild greenhouse tables damaged by high winds and floodwaters.

Our goal is to clear specific flood-ravaged areas with the infusion of 100 Mission Continues volunteers. The affected acreage which includes a small lake, benches, plant collections and teahouse, has not been accessible to the public in over two years. With our assistance, this part of Mercer will be several months closer to a public reopening.

Breakfast and snacks will be provided. We hope that you will be able to serve alongside us as we make an impact at Mercer Botanic Gardens and for the surrounding community.
