Greenhouse Volunteers Needed
We are looking for new additions to our group of Greenhouse Volunteers! Sharon, a longtime greenhouse volunteer, would like to “retire” after 15 years and more help is always needed in the Spring and Summer! The Senior Center has an outdoor vegetable garden, outdoor flower garden, and inside greenhouse with lots of plants to care for!
The greenhouse volunteers get together every Monday morning (and more often in the warmer months). Feel free to stop by the greenhouse on a Monday morning to talk with them about the help that is needed.
Springtime is about raking. Summertime is about watering and weeding. Fall is about planning the spring bulbs. Winter is about watering the inside plants and starting tomato seeds for our vegetable garden. All year is gabbing about TV shows, books, local and national news, and lots of laughs!
This volunteer position is open to Senior Center Members only.
Call Hilary for more information. (860) 889-5960
