We work from late March until mid-November with the heaviest work in Spring and Fall. In the summer we work independently depending on your schedule. 

 

Volunteers give what they can. Some do lots of work…. some do one important chore. The communication is mostly by email when setting up the work parties. We work during the week and weekends. Also, there is plenty of opportunity to work when your schedule allows. You will find wonderful friendships working side by side in the garden. No experience needed; we do on the job training!!
