Neighborhood Gardens Annual Kick Off

If you have been counting the days until you can get out in the garden, we have just the volunteer opportunity for you! Join us on Saturday, March 20 at 9am at the Civic Garden Center, 2715 Reading Road. We will start off the 2010 gardening season and give a helping hand to some of our gardens for the year.

All levels of gardening experience are welcome. This volunteer day is a great way to spend time with your family while helping out the Community Gardens.

We will meet at the Civic Garden Center at 9am then head off in teams to some of our community gardens and work until about 1:00 pm.

Roll up your sleeves and help with spring clean-up, hauling soil to fill raised beds, and spreading mulch in the pathways.  Bring a friend, a family member or come on your own for a day of gratifying and satisfying community work.

Get involved with a community garden. We can just about guarantee you’ll be glad you did!

Please RSVP by Thursday, March 18th.

To volunteer please contact Jan Kivora-Simms at the CGC
