Community Action Day @ Fruit and Spice Park (Last Sunday)
Join us on the last Sunday of every month for a day of fun & light gardening at the Fruit & Spice Park! Volunteers will help with weeding the herb & vegetable garden and the more than 150 fruit tree seedlings kept in their tropical climate greenhouse. The herb & vegetable garden features crops like tomatoes and potatoes, lovingly tended by dedicated volunteers and staff. By supporting the garden we ensure there is a space for everyone to benefit from the knowledge imparted by the study of Ethnobotany, how plants and people affect each other!
Responsibilities and Duties:
– Light gardening and mulching
– Removing vines and weeds
– Additional tasks as needed
Qualifications: All ages are welcome. Must be able to bend for extended periods of time and able to work outdoors for up to 3 hours.
