Eco3 Urban Farm: Raised Bed Construction Volunteers Needed

Description

April showers bring May flowers… and new raised beds at the Eco3 Urban Farm. Join us Saturday, May 2, to build relationships and raised beds that will serve our community for seasons to come.

The current wooden raised beds are deteriorating, and the farm team needs YOUR help removing them and redesigning our growing space. We will start this project by taking apart the wooden structures and hauling away heavy material. Volunteers of all skill levels are welcome – there is a role for everyone.

What we provide:
