School Garden Help

March-June

SIGN UP HERE

• A message from Farmer Olivia: The MOST HELPFUL jobs for volunteers are: 1) helping kids to be successful with behavior and tasks, 2) giving kids individual attention during garden task time, and 3) if you’re comfortable, running a station, like planting or a simple garden game with instruction.

• Here is our garden lesson onboarding document so volunteers can know what to expect.
