Volunteer with UsIt’s Fun and Rewarding! Volunteer in 2011 We’re looking for groups, individuals, families, scout troops and teens! There’s room for everyone: students who need community service hours, seniors who want to spend some time outdoors, scouts, corporations, church and community groups, families and individuals who want to make a difference in their community while volunteering in their “backyard’. You can be a part of our 2011 Garden Crew and support our beautiful and bountiful garden that is used to raise produce for our local food bank and to teach school groups and the general public about gardening in concert with nature. Drop in Gardening. Join us for one or several mornings of maintaining the Children’s Garden. Perfect for groups and individuals who want to help just one or a few times. Garden gloves and tools will be provided, but if you have your own favorites bring them. Sturdy shoes, water, sun screen and a hat suggested. Service hours available.
Adopt-a-Garden Looking for a continuing outdoor, hands-on, worthwhile, flexible volunteer experience? You or your group can adopt one of our small plots within the Children’s Garden. Your job would be to visit your area 2-4 times each month, from April through October, and provide routine maintenance: weeding, watering, mulching. You can come when the Park is open - sunrise to sunset. Last year we had a Daisy troop adopt the small butterfly garden, and a family who came every week to care for the food bank beds. Brief orientation and training provided. Custom Community Service You tell us when you can come, and we’ll tell you what you can do to help each day when you arrive. This option works well for people who can commit to a more-or-less regularly scheduled volunteer time. It’s great for high school students who want to earn service learning hours needed for graduation. For example, we’ve had high school students work every Wednesday in the summer, or every Tuesday afternoon for 2 hours. Brief orientation and training provided.
