current and ongoing volunteer needs
weekend garden maintenance
We grow year-round in our Learning Gardens here - using high tunnels, cold frames, and covered raised beds. We could use a couple of good reliable volunteers to help open & close structures, do minimal watering, and help keep plants trimmed of old leaves on the weekends. This will help ease the burden on our work team tremendously! If anyone has special skills to make repairs to our hoop house doors, this too would be of great value!

general garden maintenance
Volunteers are needed to assist our Garden educators with various tasks including (but not limited to) pest control and fertilizing, raised bed and hoop house construction/repair, mulching. Volunteers with gardening, farming, and basic handyman skills are ideal. Time commitment completely dependent on volunteer skills and garden needs at time of interest. Days and times can be very flexible.
