Description

Garden Cleanup & Compost Team

Help prepare the community garden for a productive growing season by tackling a variety of outdoor projects. Volunteers will work together to pull weeds in and around the garden, clean out raised garden beds, move compost into the compost bin, and assist with building a new compost bin using 2" x 12" lumber. This is a great opportunity for individuals or families who enjoy working outdoors and don't mind getting their hands dirty.

  • Build a compost bin (2" x 12" lumber) – 1 hour (5 volunteers)
