Project Description

Gardeneers typically rely on students to maintain their gardens, however, during the summer they need extra hands to make sure their gardens make it through summer vacation! Volunteers will be doing a mix of things, including but not limited to: weeding, spreading mulch, harvesting produce, painting signs and raised garden beds, and working with kids and families to do all of the above.
