Volunteers\u00a0plant, tend and harvest vegetable crops in eleven raised beds, three of which are in a hoop house.\u00a0Harvests are\u00a0used by Extension Eat Well Volunteers who teach nutrition and cooking lessons in food pantries. In late summer, you will sow cover crops and plant garlic in outdoor beds, and winter greens in the hoop house. We will be utilizing one bed to grow a Cut Flower Trial bed. The flowers will be sent with the donated vegetables to the food pantries. You will also care for plantings of raspberries, highbush blueberries and grapes. You will learn about soil testing and preparation, intensive spacing in vegetable production, pruning, fertilizing and maintaining small fruit plantings, cover cropping, drip irrigation and tool maintenance.\u00a0\u00a0Additionally,\u00a0volunteers will care for native shrubs, small trees and flowering perennials in the Extension office landscape.\u00a0In the past, members of this volunteer team were asked to participate in work sessions on Fridays (May – October) either 8:30 – 11:30 am or 1 – 3:30 pm. If volunteering on a different day of the week works best for anyone, we can accommodate that request. Please be in touch with Sue Baez.<\/p>\n Return to MGV Projects Map \u2192 <\/span><\/a>\n
