LEARNING GARDEN VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
 
A Learning Garden (LG) volunteer comes in all shapes, sizes, knowledge level and ability. All are interested in learning about gardening and helping to keep the LG maintained.
 
For those new to the area, the LG is located on land leased by the county to the residents of Charlotte county, specifically South Gulf Cove. Volunteers drew up a site plan, got a grant from the Forestry Service, and began "making" the garden. That was approximately six years ago. Since that time, volunteers have worked very hard to make it a place we can be proud of.
 
A volunteer is not required to come to each work session or sign up for anything they are not able or willing to do. You do what you can, when you can. There is a core group that have volunteered for four or five years and continue to do so. However, we really do need more help! It is a great bunch of folks who have fun and are as much in it for the camaraderie as for anything. Come and join us, learn with us, play with us whenever and in whatever capacity you choose. We need and want your help.
 
Scheduled work days are the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month at 8:00 a.m. We work approximately two hours. We weed, plant new things, take out dead things, prune, trim, etc.  There are two fundraisers a year -- a spaghetti dinner in the spring and a golf tournament in the fall. These are all things you can help with, or not. We would love to have you join us!
