We have a new system. Check out the map with color coded zones. You can adopt a zone and help tend the garden whenever you have time. In the mornings, during the day, after school or on the weekends. Spend 15 min or 4 hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to help please sign up for a zone. If all the zones are filled, double up, the more the merrier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/forms.gle\/ATMW5LayfgM5LXHV8<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Before you start please meet with me so I can show you around the garden and your zone. I\u2019ll be available Wednesday Jan 7th from 8:30-9 in the garden. Thursday Jan 8th from 8:30-9 and after school from 3:15-3:30. If these times don\u2019t work let me know and we can figure a time out. FYI- the Willow House- Zone 6, needs a special touch\u2014ladder work and careful pruning and tying to shape and maintain it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Thank you, please reach out if you have any questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Amber <\/p>\n\n\n\n Please share, invite family, friends and members of our community to make this the biggest clean up yet!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n http:\/\/www.creekcleanathon.villagecharterschool.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
