After-school Cooking Program: Tuesdays - 3:30-5:30pm. On Tuesdays, we will be offering a hands-on, DIY cooking program for students to learn more about the art of fermentation, cheese making, and bread making. Special treats are included! Students are required to sign up, as we have a limit of students per session.

All after school volunteering and programming qualifies for community service hours. Please bring your forms with you for staff to fill out at the garden!

​

Community Volunteer Days: Available to the community on Tuesdays from 9:30 am- 12:00 pm, with additional volunteer days scheduled on an as-needed basis. All volunteers must attend a Volunteer Orientation Session prior to beginning volunteer work.
