Strong backs and power tools needed to help community gardeners on Saturday

Terrific gardeners
Not so good with power tools

Volunteers are needed to help winterize the Ballinger Neighborhood Community Garden this Saturday, December 6, 10am to Noon.

This Saturday, December 6, from 10 am to noon, the small, dedicated group of gardeners at Ballinger Neighborhood Community Garden will be doing some maintenance on the garden beds for the winter.

Many of the gardeners are seniors, who could use your help with hauling and lifting, installing some new wood frames on raised beds, helping to build a retaining wall, replenishing soil on food bank plots, laying wood chips, replenishing soil, and composting leaves.

If you enjoy volunteering for a good cause and love being outdoors on a winter day, come on out and help for an hour or two. Many hands make for light work, new friends and lots of fun!

Wear gloves, and bring your battery-powered drills or drivers, saws, hammers, gloves, and shovels, if you have them. They’ll be sure to have plenty of treats and warm beverages on hand.

The garden is located in the back parking lot of the Mars Hill Church, 2800 NE 200th, Shoreline.  Directional signs will be posted.
