Garden Installation Volunteers & Crew Leaders needed for Growing Gardens

It's time to build gardens for our 2011 Home Gardeners! We need several volunteers for our fun installation days. Sign up for one or more days and build a garden to promote food security, meet other volunteers and learn techniques such as double digging and sheet mulching. No experience is necessary, only a willingness to get dirty and have a good time!

 

Would you like to strengthen your leadership skills? Sign up to be a Crew Leader and learn to lead the volunteer crews on the installation days. All Crew Leaders will be expected to attend the Crew Leader training and lead crews on at least two of three installation events.

 

* Crew Leader training - Saturday, October 30 - 10am-4pm * Installation days - Saturday, November 13 & 20 - 10am-3pm
