Description
Willing Hands tends a number of gardens in the Upper Valley, including sites at Cedar Circle Farm, Dartmouth Hitchcock Health, and at home at our own Norwich facility. We plant, weed (and weed some more!), fertilize, harvest, wash, and box up thousands of pounds of vegetables. We grow a wide variety of produce-from the ordinary (peas and carrots) to slightly more exotic (ground cherries and watermelon). We provide all the necessary tools and training for all tasks.
Weekly gardening sessions during the growing season include:
- Tuesday at Cedar Circle Farm in Thetford
- Tuesday at the Willing Hands Facility in Norwich
- Wednesday at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Farmacy Garden in Lebanon
- Thursday at Cedar Circle Farm in Thetford
- Saturday at Cedar Circle Farm in Thetford
