How to Dress & What to Bring:
Wear clothes and shoes that you feel comfortable working and getting dirty in. Closed-toed shoes are preferred, and if it’s been rainy, boots are the best option to keep your feet dry. Bring gardening gloves if you have them. You will be working in the sun for several hours so also be prepared with hats/bandanas, sunscreen, and water. At this point in the season we’ll probably be doing some weeding and other preparatory activities.
What we’ll be doing:
Our tasks for the day will depend on the time of the season, the weather, and other factors. We will meet up with the coordinators from the College, who direct our activities for the day. At this point in the season, it is likely we’ll be doing preparation work, such as weeding, pruning, and some greenhouse clean up, but also possibly harvesting of early plants.
