Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Email the group at nchandler@royalgardensassociation.com to ask about the next volunteer day and whether the weekday tai chi class still meets..
Check with the group before you show up.
What to expect
The site lists no volunteer dates or meeting spot, so ask the group which day to come. Work covers clearing invasive plants and dumped trash and planting gardens, and the group asks each volunteer to come at least twice a year. The tai chi class is listed for 7 to 8 am on weekdays with no dates, so confirm it before you go.

- Email the group before you go, since the site lists no volunteer dates or meeting spot.
- Confirm the weekday morning tai chi class is still running before you come at 7 am.

Newcomer welcome
