Volunteer with SARPA for Summer Gardening!
One of SARPA's main projects is the public gardens on Summit, specifically the planters on the Ayd Mill Road overpass and the Monument garden at the river. Can you help us take care of them?
We'll be planting the Ayd Mill planters on Thursday, June 2, starting between 9/9:30 am. Master gardener Marge Hols will again be coordinating the plantings, so not only will you help us out, but you'll learn a lot. Many hands make light work; just show up if you would like to help.
We also need people to help water the planters this summer (it costs us close to $2,000 if we want the city to do it). There are 7 planters, and each needs 2 gallons twice a week. Can you sign up for one week this summer?
We'll likely need help with the Monument Garden as well, but that's not set yet.
Email us at hello@SARPA.org if you can help out, or just leave a comment below and we'll get in touch with you!
