Volunteer Night at Sugarberry Garden
Volunteer Night at Sugarberry Garden offers flexible, roughly three hour shifts, and participants may arrive and depart as their schedules allow. No prior gardening experience is necessary, only an openness to learn and connect with others in a community setting. Sunscreen and bug spray will be available. Please bring gloves, drinking water, a hat, and a snack to stay refreshed, and wear comfortable clothing with closed toe shoes. This is a working garden, so expect to get a little dirty. A volunteer form is available for sign up.
