June Service Project
Our June community service project will be at the Five Senses Garden on Saturday, June 15th from 9-12.
This garden is part of the Capital Area Green Belt and it is a community garden. Shirley is the main volunteer caretaker of the garden and depends on community groups like our Rotary club to help maintain the garden.
Shirley has some gardening tools but if you want to bring some tools from home that would be good too. We will be doing a variety of gardening tasks such as weeding, mulching, planting, trimming and edging.
It is okay to come for only part of the time. Also feel free to bring family, friends, co-workers. This service project is good for both kids and adults.
There is parking lot right across the street from the garden.
