Giving Garden Volunteer Training

Event Description: This summer, connect kids to the land  and their community. Attend our 10-minute training session to learn how your family can help pull weeds and pick produce in our “giving garden.” Volunteering at this garden doesn’t require signing up. Just stop by for a few minutes at your convenience. And since we have drip irrigation, you won’t be asked to lug around dirty hoses. Tools and gloves are provided on site. Produce from our giving garden can be picked and consumed by fellow gardeners and the rest is shared with the Ralph Reeder Food Shelf. Pizza will be provided after the training session. This event is free, but please register and put in your pizza order.
