Ongoing Opportunities!
************************************** Help create "Open Garden Time" at recess at the Healey School Garden. We will be offering a training for volunteers to become "Garden Guides." Garden guides will be responsible for creating a safe exploratory learning space in the school garden, facilitating basic garden work and overseeing young people in their own creative garden-based activities during recess. Guides will commit to monitor the garden use once a week (or every other week) between 11:30 and 1:30pm (this is flexible).
Please let us know if you are interested this unique opportunity.
Proposed training date: Tuesday 11/13 at 1:45pm, Healey School, 5 Meacham St.
