Join Us This Summer! Help keep our UHE school garden thriving during the summer break. Whether you are a total beginner or a seasoned pro, we’d love to have you join our community of growers.
What You’ll Do:
Targeted Watering: Because our garden is so large, volunteers are asked to water a specific section rather than the whole space in one go.
Garden Care: Assist with weeding and harvesting a variety of fresh vegetables.
Autumn Prep: Help us start seeds for fall crops like broccoli, cabbage, kale, onions, and leafy greens.
Our Garden Space: Our diverse growing area includes metal raised beds, large round planter pots, and in-ground garden beds, providing a variety of ways to learn about gardening.
Volunteer Benefits:
Harvest the Rewards: Take home the fresh, organic produce you help grow!
Please remember: Bring your own shopping bags to transport your harvest home.
Location: Find us at the back of the gravel sports field at the UHE School.
How to Get Started: All volunteers must attend a 1-hour orientation.
Participants can choose to attend either the session on June 12th (17:00 – 18:00) or the one on June 13th (10:00 – 11:00).
To Sign Up: Please send an email to [email protected] to schedule your orientation session.
