As an added bonus, garden volunteers arrive on Alcatraz before other visitors, so you can experience the island during the most tranquil time of day.

Park staff is amazed at the excellent survival rate of the plants you all worked so hard to plant. Joe has seen people with sleeping bags heading for the lake's edge and actually backing out when they saw that it was planted!"
