Harvesting at the Garden
Carting the harvest to the food pantry
Donnalee, who often volunteers at the Garden on Tuesday afternoons was was waiting for our delivery at the Food Pantry.
At the Garden: May 20, 2017
Volunteers: a Lexington Brownie troop
Weather: Sunny, dry, 60s to 70s
We were delighted to be joined this morning by an enthusiastic troop of about 8 Brownie scouts and parents helping at the Garden this morning. For some, this was a repeat volunteer opportunity. For others, this was the first time they were learning about the Garden. When Carla asked who wanted to do some of the harvesting, all hands shot up in the air.
