These volunteers are simply the best people to work with! They asked, “when can we come back?” 🥹
Thank you Maxwell volunteers! Special shoutout to each group that moved all the river rocks and soil, the group that potted up plants, weeded the greenhouse, and painted the lumber and Courtney who kept us all on task.
We appreciate you!
Volunteers are the lifeblood of any successful community or teaching garden. We are so grateful to you all!
