Spruce Up the Garden at Ockley Green School (age 12+) *STW 2012*
This project will give volunteers an up-close look at Growing Gardens’ involvement in local schools; our Youth Grow Program provides after school garden education and supports schools in maintaining educational gardens where kids learn about growing and eating fresh fruits and vegetables.
Stand Together Week volunteers will rejuvenate the education garden at Ockley Green School by helping with a variety of duties. There's also a pond on site that needs some TLC. The volunteer shift will coincide with the Growing Gardens’ after school Garden Club, so volunteers will receive a tour by the students and will then get to work afterwards!
Note: Volunteers age 12-17 may volunteer along with a responsible adult.
Volunteers age 18+ are welcome to volunteer on their own.
