Greenleaf Garden 2020 Edition

Seeking Volunteers to Plant in the Greenleaf Garden. The Garden Team will be continuing our edible garden tradition, it will just look a little different this growing season. We are seeking family volunteers to plant in the garden and maintain the garden over the summer. The first stage will be planting. If you would like to plant in the garden with your own family during a dedicated time, please email Garden Chairs, Nikki Peters at nykky09@gmail.com and Suzanne Griffin at suzullman@gmail.com. If interested, we will assign you garden space and a dedicated time to plant. We ask you to continue social distancing and wear masks when tending to the garden. 

Lastly, stay tuned for a Summer Volunteer Sign Up, which includes the watering/weeding/harvesting schedule from May 2020 through September 2020.

Wondering how you can lend a hand? 

Check out our Current Volunteer Signups on our PTO website.  Please note that you will need to register on the PTO website in order to see the volunteer sign ups.
