LMC CAhealth+

Do you enjoy gardening? Are you interested in healthcare? Perhaps are you a pre-health or pre-med student?

Over 60 Health Center is looking for volunteers to help run our new gardening group that will be held at Ashby Community Garden! We are hoping to have a group that runs weekly, for about 1-2 hours per session.

Have your ever felt after gardening, a sense of accomplishment or reduced stress? We believe in making community gardens accessible for people of all abilities, because gardening is a powerfully stimulating activity to enrich the physical, mental, and social aspects of our lives. Because gardening can benefit our
so many aspects of our wellbeing, we believe that it is important that we create an environment of inclusion.
