Community Garden Volunteer Day
Help us prepare our Community Garden site for the growing season. Thanks to our community’s incredible support this past Giving Tuesday, we raised $5,000 over our goal, enough to purchase the garden site for our 24 members and make some much-needed upgrades to prepare for the growing season.
Adults of all skill levels are welcome to roll up their sleeves and help out! While we typically welcome children of all ages at our events, this particular volunteer day is best suited for individuals 16 and older. The planned activities will involve independently led tasks that require following specific instructions and may not be appropriate for younger children.
Keep an eye on our website for upcoming family-friendly events — we’d love to see you there!
