It may not seem like gardening season yet with snow still on the ground but we're actively processing new gardener applications, building the frames in our warehouse, and ordering seeds and seedlings.
We are always looking for more help! Below are descriptions of our 2013 volunteer opportunities during the growing season.
Garden Mentor: With the beds or containers in place, Growing Places Garden Project's Mentors provide support and encouragement to gardeners at all levels to develop an array of valuable gardening skills by providing hands-on advice and support. Garden Mentors serve every gardener - from experienced do-it-yourselfer to the self-proclaimed
black thumbs. Mentors ensure that our gardens succeed given the skills, needs, and interests of the individual and family gardeners. Growing Places' Mentors help us build better gardens, one gardener at a time.
Garden Installation Crew: Each garden requires a crew to install the frames, fill them with soil, and prep them for the gardener's use. Each standard three bed build takes approximately three hours and requires about four to five (4-5) volunteers. This is a great service experience for corporations, schools, scouts, church groups or families and friends just looking to have a good time working in the outdoors.
