Portland Parks & Recreation took to social media to extend a heartfelt thank you to its crew of dedicated volunteers during National Volunteer Week. These individuals have been instrumental in maintaining the city's iconic rose gardens, providing both care to the flora and knowledge to the visitors. According to Portland Parks & Recreation's Facebook post, these volunteers contribute significantly to the beauty of several parks across Portland through their efforts in deadheading, weeding, and guiding tours.
Emphasizing the impact of these volunteers, the Parks department highlighted how every careful snip helps to create the vibrant gardens that feature as a must-visit for thousands each year. The parks department reached out to invite more individuals to become a part of this cultivation process. Interested residents were encouraged to proactively sign up and begin to contribute to the city's green spaces.
Volunteer contributions are critical in areas such as Washington Park, Peninsula Park, and Ladds Addition, ensuring the trademark roses of Portland are in full bloom throughout the summer. With the acknowledgment of these efforts during National Volunteer Week, Portland Parks & Recreation placed the spotlight on the people who give their time freely to both maintain and enhance the natural beauty of the city's parks.
