This is a low intensity volunteer program where you will help with watering and weeding. Usually garden buddies volunteer for 1-2 hours at a time when they are free. There are so many benefits to gardening, mentally, physically, and health wise, so don’t miss out on this opportunity to get your hands dirty and help a buddy out! |
