Thirty students have signed up to come in to help on Wednesday mornings from 9:00 until 12:00. They can come in for any one or all of the 8 sessions we have planned.Each participant will receive a certificate of recognition for the number of hours of volunteer community work they gave.
The work for each session is determined by factors such as materials we have to be planted, weather conditions, as well as limitiations within our building. For example we can't develop several areas until additional sidewalks are in. We still do not have faucets on the outside of the building so any watering must be done from a utility sink inside! This really restricts how much new planting we can do but we hope to have one area completed for the fall. We are also pruning sucker growth and broken branches off the existing trees as well as dividing perennials and mulching them until we are ready to plant them. |
