Garden Volunteer Day!  Harvest, plant giveaway, and beautification

Details

Whoo!!! The garden is growing so fast! We have to get it back under control! Our Urban Learning Garden plot is a focal piece of Sunshine Community Gardens, and it attracts a lot of visitors and garden explorers, so we want to keep it at its best. Please come help out Saturday as we dig in!

Workplan:

  • Harvest beans, tomatoes, etc.
  • Share basil and pollinator plant starters
  • Do some weeding in the beds and walkways
  • Collect pollinator plant and veggie seeds to share among volunteers and community seed libraries
  • Lay more wood chips in the walkways.
  • Plant additional milkweed in our Monarch Waystation beds in preparation for autumn migration

We will sign off on community service hours for students, etc. who need them.

As always, well-behaved kids and canines are welcome to attend. We have tons of tools, but you may want to bring your own gloves if you have them.

See you Saturday!
