Spring Garden Internship
Afterschool • Tuesdays & Thursdays • April to June
Spring Garden Interns get our garden off to a great start at the beginning of each growing season. Each year, interns research different growing techniques to create a planting chart, sift and turn our compost bins, and practice their leadership skills showing volunteers how to plant seedlings.
