Attire: Get ready to get down and dirty! Wear comfortable shoes or boots suitable for gardening, and don't forget your essentials for working outdoors - think bug spray, a hat, sunscreen, gardening or work gloves, and a trusty water bottle to keep you hydrated.
Who Can Join: We welcome volunteers aged 8 and above to join our gardening adventures. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, there's something for everyone to learn and contribute!
What to Expect: Get ready for a hands-on experience that's as rewarding as it is educational. From mulching to weeding, planting to harvesting vegetables, and even getting down and dirty with composting, there's a whole world of gardening tasks waiting for you. And yes, you might break a sweat, so dress casually so you don't mind getting a little grubby.
Strength Required: While gardening is therapeutic, it can also be quite the workout! Be prepared to flex those muscles and lift at least 50 pounds during our gardening sessions.
