To keep up with regular garden maintenance, volunteers take on a month during which s/he spends approximately an hour at the garden. Tasks include weeding and deadheading, and later in the summer, staking things up and then cutting them back. Volunteers also report back on any other garden needs, such as replacing struggling or dead plants, water or mulch needed, etc.
We are setting up the same system again this year, preferably with two volunteers per month. The two can either work together or at different times. If regularly maintained, a visit to weed, etc. should take approximately one hour. This can be done at any time within the month, to fit the volunteer’s schedule.
Suggested items to bring: garden gloves, drinking water, sun hat; hand rake/claw or other cultivation tool of choice; scissors/clippers for dead-heading; and a bag to collect weeded material in (Please do not leave weeds in the yard of the Dickson House.)
During our workday in the fall, we put new labels on the plants - and the garden has really filled out over time - so even if you aren't familiar with what is where in the garden, you'll have no problems weeding.
Please sign up by replying to me, Lucy Wilson (lucy.wilson AT gmail.com). We are looking for volunteers for the months of April – October.
