~ VOLUNTEER GARDEN HOURS ~
Would you like to learn more about gardening
by getting your hands in the dirt?
So many people
would.
Our volunteers
said that the mental benefits of volunteering range from a general sense of "feeling good" as a result of working in the garden, to a more complex sense of "self-therapy" as they promote their
health and well-being.
- Hours are earned by volunteering your time working in the garden.
- Any amount of time volunteering is acceptable.
- Hours can be used to pay for workshop/class fees or particular events.
