Volunteer with UsChildren's GardenDrop in Gardening Adopt-a-Garden It’s Fun and Rewarding! Children’s Garden Volunteers Needed in 2010! You can be a part of our 2010 Garden Crew and support our beautiful & bountiful garden that is used to raise produce for our local food bank and teach school groups and the general public about gardening in concert with nature. 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". Call Justine Schaeffer at 410.887.3014 to reserve your place in the sun and get your hands dirty this year for a good cause. 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 once 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. 9 AM - 12 PM Saturdays, July 10 & August 289 AM - 12 PM Wednesdays, July 14 & August 11 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 through October, and provide routine maintenance: weeding, watering, mulching. You can come when the Park is open - sunrise to sunset. Sign up for: Rainbow Garden, Native Plant Garden, an Education Bed, a Food Bank bed, Three Sisters Garden, Pumpkin Patch, or Sunflower Garden. Service hours available. Brief orientation and training provided.Where can I help? 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 a student work every Wednesday after school for 2 hours; and another who worked every Tuesday morning during the summer. Brief orientation and training provided. |
