Join SCAD SERVE Friday, October 14th to learn about urban farming and garden maintenance. SCADBack40, SCAD's very own sustainable, organic, urban farm and apiary welcomes volunteers on Friday morning from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. SCAD SERVE Fellows, Lillian Brown and Stephen Worsham, SCAD SERVE Fellows, will be leading the event.
Transportation is provided and will depart from The Hive at 9 a.m. and return to The Hive at 11 a.m.
Volunteers will work to harvest produce, maintain the gardens, and tend to the plants growing this season. SCADBack40 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.
Please wear clothes that will allow you to get dirty, and also to protect you from the natural environment we will be working in. We will be working in gardens and in community with active bee hives.
THIS EVENT TAKES PLACE NEAR LIVE BEE HIVES, PLEASE CONSIDER THIS FACT IF YOU HAVE ANY BEE ALLERGIES.
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. Volunteers should also bring a reusable water bottle to stay refreshed.
