All are invited to come on out to the garden any morning at 8:30 to help, no previous experience is required. Bring gloves, sunscreen, bug spray, a hat and water to replenish and we will meet you by the shed with instructions. Not sure what to do? If you would prefer to weed in the afternoon, evening, or on the weekends but have not done it before, contact the church office to set up an orientation date. After that, you can come out anytime you wish.

The main tasks are (weather permitting):

• May: Help deploy the irrigation system.

• Late May to early June: Assist in transplanting young plants and setting up tomato cages.

• Throughout June to September: Tend to the garden with diligent weeding and rototilling.

• Late July through September: Join us in the joyous harvest of our bountiful produce.

For more information, or to receive scheduling updates, contact Bill West through the church office, (847) 836-5540.
