Volunteers
from the Co-op community tend the Harvest Partners Garden.
Working
together, they raise fresh summer vegetables to donate
to local food pantries.
|
Work
sessions take place twice a week: Tuesday mornings and
Thursday afternoons. Forty volunteers contributed 250
hours in the garden in 2000. Additional volunteers,
with or without gardening experience, are welcome.
