Volunteer!
Volunteers have played an important role in the garden since our beginnings. Along with garden maintenance activities, there's a wonderful camaraderie among our volunteers, both long-timers and newcomers. We meet throughout the spring, summer, and fall on Monday evening at 5:30 p.m., weather permitting. There are also additional day-time sessions during the week. Call Stephanie at (540) 231-5970 to be added to our volunteer notice list.
