The Durham Center for Senior Life is looking for a gardening enthusiast who is looking to lead our new Gardening Club . Our Gardening Club shares tips for gardening, brings in seeds and seedlings to share, and researches together on how to keep vegetables, herbs, fruits, and flowers happy. Your role will be to think of topics for discussion, brainstorm activities on or off site, and in the fall, lead the club in planting raised beds. While you do not need to be an expert on gardening, an enthusiasm for nature and ability to use Google for simple searches are key to success.
