We are looking for volunteers to help water the community garden this summer. Many hands make light work, and the commitment is small. The garden generally only needs to be watered twice a week.

There is lots of flexibility, and we welcome whatever time you can offer. Whether you can help once a week, a few times over the summer, or even just once, your support is appreciated. We will be creating a watering schedule, so every contribution helps.

If you are interested in signing up, please send us an email at [email protected] and we will add you to the schedule.
