Garden Clean-up Day
We’re looking for volunteers to help us get ready for planting on Saturday, May 18, 11 am at the Arlee Garden for Life located at the entrance to Arlee Celebration grounds. Bring your gloves, rakes, and other garden tools.
We will be pulling weeds, weed-eating around fences, raking wood chips onto the pathway, assembling benches, and whatever else needs to be done. Wear weather-appropriate clothes and expect to get dirty! Bring a potluck dish to share and we’ll provide hamburgers and hot dogs. We had a great garden last year and we're looking forward to even more fresh produce in 2024.
Garden Sign-up Time
We had an amazing harvest of 4,181 pounds of fresh produce last year, and we’re getting ready for an even bigger harvest in 2024. Join us for some dirt therapy to help plant and care for our garden this summer. Volunteers can take their pick of working in the garden Wednesdays from 6:30 to 8:30 PM or Fridays 10 AM to 12 PM. We’ll have a weekly Zoom class of 40 minutes or less each Monday at 7 PM starting May 13 to help you grow your gardening skills. Volunteers also get to take beautiful fresh organic produce home to enjoy. It's a fun, family-friendly activity and everyone is welcome. To sign up, email info@arleecdc.org or call 406.726.5550.
