Tasks would be low-key duties like watering or some light weeding. You'll come out when one of our garden staff is around to ask questions. Just fill out this form and let us know what days/times work for you: https://forms.gle/iMwRzbghMmpHCVkw7.

Hanging around this summer? Join us for our macramé hanging garden workshop to learn more about indoor gardening and create your own DIY hanging planter to elevate your mood (and your plants)!
