Upcoming Events in the Garden to Cafeteria Garden!

Community Work Day


Date: Friday, May 24th
Time: 9am-12pm
Location: Garden to Cafeteria garden, Holman Ave. (by the soccer fields)

The growing season is upon us, and the garden to cafeteria garden on Holman could use some helping hands to get it ready for spring planting!  We are hoping for about 10 adults and teens to help with some heavy lifting projects to haul soil and construct raised beds. 
 
If you're interested in joining us, please RSVP to Margaret Fitch: margaret@guidestonecolorado.org, or (802)274-2870
