Volunteer at Edgewood Garden
We are starting a
new program: Volunteer at Edgewood Garden.
Become a Veggie! (VEG,
get it?)
Volunteer days will
include lunch (soup and salad provided, bring a sandwich) on work days.
Activities will include weeding, planting, pruning, deadheading, raking,
propagating, potting --- the usual light garden tasks.
What's in it for me,
you ask?
1) You will be able to
attend any of our "Volunteer Teas" at Edgewood garden with scones and
cucumber sandwiches and all that, which will be exclusively for
Volunteers AND their guests.
2) You will have a
chance to buy cards, books, sachets, or other Edgewood Garden "stuff" at a
20% discount.
3) You will get free
plants from garden divisions, cuttings, seedlings and purchases to plant in
YOUR garden.
4) You will have your
name added to our Volunteer Plaque in the garden (and even some pictures on
the website!).
5) You will get to see
the garden at times of the year when it is not open to the public.
6) We will have guest
lecturers to give demonstrations/talks about various garden tasks/activities
on specified Volunteer days. TBA.
7) Share in the fruit
and vegetables from the garden, as available.

these days to help Edgewood Garden become a really great showplace.
