School Garden Volunteer Orientation
Teach students how to grow food,and have fun in the garden. We teach over 800 students in schools across the North Shore each year in monthly lessons from September to June, and we need your help to make the gardens come alive! The EGP School Garden program is a hand-ons, interactive educational program bringing students in grades K-7 out of the classroom and into the garden.
Interested Volunteers: Attend the orientation on October 20th! Attending the orientation is not a commitment to volunteering, but if you'd like to work with students in our school gardens, please attend.

When: Thursday October 20,10:00am-12:30pm

Please dress for the weather as we'll be outdoors, and bring a mug for coffee or tea.

She is a passionate plant-lover and her career has been rooted in horticulture, nature, and our environment. For many years she owned and operated her own landscaping business with a focus on sustainable design and water-wise gardening.
