 We are looking for volunteers to help us maintain our large school and community garden, to help us harvest and prepare our parents market, to provide support during student cooking and garden groups. Volunteers who are able to make a regular commitment are especially appreciated! The garden has a native plant area, a bird and butterfly area, a medicinal plant spiral garden and beds shaped like the continents of Africa and South America containing plants from these regions. We are also looking for someone with bookkeeping ability who could help several hours a month. Volunteers who have regular contact with students will have to come to the School District office for fingerprinting and a background check. This opportunity is sponsored by: Verde Partnership Garden (a Project Of The Tides Center)
We need volunteers who are free at these times
