About this Event
This hands-on volunteer day will bring together parents/caregivers, community members, students, school staff and the Flourish team to help build the new school garden.
In the morning, adult volunteers will assist with assembling metal garden beds and preparing the site. As classes come out throughout the day, adult volunteers and students will work together to move soil and pathway materials and bring the garden design to life.
Volunteers are encouraged to sign up for the time slot that best matches their availability. Family members are welcome to volunteer with their child’s class. No gardening experience is needed, and all activities will be supported by Flourish staff and school teachers. We hope you can join us!
