Help us prepare planting beds during planting season for winter or summer crops. We need help maintaining the soil fertility of our 75 garden beds. Work includes sifting and turning the soil, adding compost and/or organic fertilizer and raking the beds smooth to prepare them to receive and nourish the plants we grow in them year round.
We work our soil Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday mornings 9:00 am till 12:00 noon of each month, plus Friday afternoons from 3pm until 6pm. Please contact us to confirm any date that you would like to come and help.
