Information as of June 3, 2008

Work Party Schedule

Work party scheduling is dependent upon the needs within the various garden components, such as weeding the native plant borders, taking care of the food bank gardens, planting, turning compost as the bins fill.  If you would like to volunteer for a work party, just come to the work party on the assigned date. If it is your first time, there are orientation information flyers available at the sign in table.  Park policy requires that  you to register as a volunteer by providing contact information and the hours worked for record keeping purposes  - See Park Volunteer Packet Information on  Volunteering. We are always delighted to see new volunteers, even if it is only for a short time.
