The Bakken Museum sits on nearly three beautiful acres of land on the west side of Bde Maka Ska. Our unique urban landscape includes some major surprises for garden enthusiasts, including prairie and wetland restoration areas, a medicinal plant garden, an organic vegetable garden, and much more.
There is much to be done year-round to maintain and enhance our gardens and grounds, though the majority of the effort takes place May-October. Work includes planting in-pots and in-ground, spring site preparation, weeding, watering, pruning, installing bird feeders, and so much more. Jobs range from mild primping to more strenuous projects. We invite volunteers to join for regular weekly work on Saturday mornings. Additionally, we can host groups of up to 50 people to support gardening and landscaping efforts.
In 2025, work will begin on Saturday, May 3. To get involved, please complete our application to volunteer! And then sign up to participate here!
