Beautiful Home in Sherwood Forest

247 Robin Hood Road Listed for $2,299,000 6 bed/ 6 bath e Wylde Center needs winter volunteers for its public greenspaces in Decatur and East Atlanta. Regular garden work days are posted on the Wylde Center’s website, wyldecenter.org. All ages are welcome, but everyone is asked to let the Center know in advance when they plan to volunteer by emailing jc@wyldecenter.org so the staff can match the volunteers to the available projects. Groups of five or more may also sign up in advance. “When the leaves are off the trees and many plants are dormant, it’s a great time evaluate the ‘bones’ of the garden and do clean-up, hardscaping and planning,” said Stephanie Van Parys, executive director of the Wylde Center. “We appreciate our volunteers who join us to rake leaves, tidy up the grounds, build or repair structures like walls and fences, and handle other winter season garden tasks. We have a lot of fun together and it’s great to be outdoors no matter the time of year,” she said.
