Granny's Garden School operates outdoor educational programming on the school grounds for students during the spring and fall growing seasons. During the summer, a fun group of volunteers works together to tend the garden to keep it healthy and well maintained. Work includes weeding, watering, planting , harvesting vegetables for the local food pantry and delivering food to the LIFE Food Pantry. Training is required but working in groups allows us to get to know each other and learn collectively. We ask summer helpers to commit to working in the garden a couple hours per week. Individuals who help consistently during the summer share in the harvest on a 'take what you need" basis. Groups are currently meeting every Wed night at 6:30pm but more group times will be added to our shared calendar based on individual schedules and availability. If you love to garden and enjoy working with others in the garden, this is a great opportunity for you! See our website for more information on our garden education program www.grannysgardenschool.org
