Community Garden Night Wednesday nights are work nights in the garden from 5 p.m. until dark. This is a seasonal activity that takes place through the end of October and resumes again in spring. Just show up to lend a hand! Grant Writing Grants help sustain school programs and buy needed equipment and materials. If you can help write grants, or if you know of a foundation whose funding interests match our goals, please contact us! Harvest Day The Harvest Day event typically occurs the last week of October. Volunteers are needed throughout the day to help with activities such as face painting, petting zoo, potato feast, pumpkin patch and more. Watch the Green Notes email for details. |
