Report Volunteer hours
Use this online form to report hours that you have NOT recorded on a sign-in sheet or in the log kept at the garden.
See the Monthly Task List
Looking for a way to help keep the garden in shape? Check out the monthly task list created by our Landscape and Maintenance Chairs. This list can also be found in the log in the shed at the garden. When you complete a task on the list, please note it on the log with your bed number (there’s a chart included in the log book), the date, and the number of hours you spent on it, rounded to the nearest quarter hour.
