Helping to prepare, and maintain the 7 plots at the community gardens on Maple Ave (right beside the gymnastics club). Preparation will be getting the beds ready in the spring for planting - cleaning them up, topping up soil levels and adding compost where needed, turning the soil over. Planting will be transferring seedlings to designated beds, and directing seeding. Weeding as necessary (training on identification can be provided to novice gardeners). Watering daily.

Last year was a good year for our garden. We grew squash, peppers, lettuce, swiss chard, onions, kale, eggplants, carrots, beets, tomatoes, and cucumbers) we hope this year will be even more plentiful, and it's a very rewarding activity.

Training will be provided if needed.
