Volunteer Work Every plot rental includes a requirement to perform 5 hours of community service. Each unworked hour will cost you $20, payable at the end of the season, but the garden needs your labor more than your money.    Your efforts will maintain our common spaces and keep garden programs and facilities running.
Grounds Maintenance   Weed the JCG Flower Beds (A1, B1, C1, D1) and beds next to the main gate. Mow grass along and between rows, along the roadsides, in the large open space beside the covered shelter, around amendment piles and compost piles, and around the sheds. Trim brush from the fence line corridor, inside and outside fence. Take home and dispose of any garbage. Weed-whack areas that the lawn mower can’t access. Tarp weed piles. Burn wood piles. Take accumulated junk to the dump. Remove orange hawkweed or any other invasive species.  (Secure these weeds in a plastic bag and place in dumpster.)  Contact Alea Oien for details:  communitygarden998@gmail.com (subject line: Alea Oien)     Help with Special Events  May 4 - Garden Orientation Potluck May 11 - Spring Plant Sale June 15 - Rhubarb Festival August 24 - Harvest Fair contact Pat Harris or Alan Davis: communitygarden998@gmail.com (subject line: Event Volunteer)	Remember to record your service hours!
