Vedgewater Garden Work Day

Vedgewater Volunteer Day

Join us for a day of community service and environmental stewardship at the Vedgewater Community Garden! We're looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help us maintain and beautify our beloved garden. Whether you have a green thumb or not, everyone is welcome to lend a hand!

You'll have the opportunity to learn about gardening techniques, meet fellow nature lovers, and contribute to the vibrancy of our community. Together, we'll plant, tend to existing plants, and spruce up the garden for everyone to enjoy.

By volunteering, you'll not only contribute to the vibrancy of our neighborhood but also have the opportunity to meet fellow community members and make new friends. It's a fantastic chance to connect with like-minded individuals who share a passion for nature and community involvement.

To ensure a fun and productive day, we recommend wearing comfortable clothes, dressing for the weather, and bringing gardening tools if you have them. Don't worry if you don't, as we'll provide the necessary equipment.

Mark your calendars and don't miss out on this wonderful opportunity to make a positive impact in Edgewater. Let's come together, get our hands dirty, and create a thriving community garden that we can all be proud of!

No prior experience is necessary, just bring your positive energy and a willingness to get your hands dirty! We'll provide all the tools and materials needed. Don't forget to wear comfortable clothes and dress for the weather.

Help us make a difference in our community and create a beautiful oasis at Vedgewater Community Garden. Let's grow together!
