Welcome to our Garden! 

 

The Garden is planted with all kinds of summer crops.  Despite a few setbacks of critters uprooting some seedlings, the garden is thriving.

 

If you are in the building, we invite you to join us and volunteer to tend the garden. If you are not so nearby, you are still very welcome to visit us online and watch our garden grow! For more info on our Garden, please see the Garden Info page.

 

 

 


 

Volunteer Requests 

Generally we tend the garden on Thursdays around 2pm, though this can change on a weekly basis.  Notices of garden tending days will out out to the garden mailing list.  If you are in the building and interested in volunteering, please see the Volunteer page to get on our mailing list.
