    Description

    GARDENING

    Join our volunteer team, work in a beautiful, peaceful place, and help us maintain garden pathways and beds. The work involves raking paths, weeding beds, and other basic garden maintenance. You'll learn about the garden's plantings as you work. Volunteers need to be able to navigate uneven pathways and slopes. We particularly need Sunday morning volunteers, but we also have Tuesday and Thursday volunteer groups.
