Lend a Helping Hand at the Community Garden 02.3.22 (SAVANNAH)

Lend a helping hand at the SCAD Community Garden, Thursday, February 3rd from 8-10 am by tending to garden beds, learning about perennial and annual flowers, local pollinators, and the importance of sustainability in the garden. Matt DeRose, SCAD SERVE Farm Manager will be leading the conversation.  

Volunteers will work to harvest produce, maintain the gardens, and tend to the plants growing this season. SCAD Back40 and the Community Garden produces tons of produce and honey that is donated to the kitchen of Park Place Outreach, a local youth emergency shelter focused on "ensuring youth have safety, guidance, and caring adults". Help make this possible by volunteering your time. 

The Community Garden is right next to the Mailing Center. 

Prepare for working in the sun as well, a hat will be helpful for sun protection. Shirts with sleeves and pants or shorts that allow for bending, sitting, and moving is helpful. Wearing a SCAD SERVE shirt or other SCAD on it is helpful for pictures and to create a unified look. Please plan to wear closed toe shoes for your protection, and masks are required for the bus ride to the farm. Volunteers should also bring a reusable water bottle to refresh themselves at a distance far away from the group. 

All volunteers must be in good health, pass their SCAD daily health screening, and not experience any symptoms of illness. If you are unwell, do not come to the event! Instead, seek medical attention and contact SCAD SERVE Farm Manager, Matt DeRose 912.477.9649. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Matt DeRose 912.477.9649.
