    Description

    Tasks will be tailored to accommodate the number of people who RSVP each week and will happen throughout the garden. This is a good way to learn a variety of fine gardening skills and see all the areas of the garden through the seasons. Work could include any of the following, light raking, deadheading, plant grooming, mulching, light pruning, weeding, pathway maintenance, installing screening fencing, and planting. This role can accommodate a volunteer looking for lighter duty tasks; work will be tailored to abilities of the group as needed.

    Requires initial volunteer orientation.
