Members of the group are given the opportunity to make beneficial changes in the school by collaborating with multiple student groups, as well as the wider community. We work together by planting sustainable, healthy produce and earn community service hours as we donate the food to those in need with our partnerships throughout the community.
By joining our group, you will have the opportunity to work with other like-minded individuals who share your passion for community service and gardening. You will have the chance to share your ideas, develop leadership skills, build strong relationships, and make a difference in our school community! Prior experience with gardening is not required to join, only a willingness to help and make a positive impact.
Our group is an excellent way to get involved in school life and make your mark on the world around you. Join us in our mission to make a difference and transform our school into a better place for everybody!
Meet at the garden on your scheduled days for garden service. Each student books a day that they will join a garden leader to water the garden and perform regular maintenance, such as weeding (weather permitting). These times are generally at lunchtime on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, however, in Term 1 we water every morning before school (8:10-8:40am) to avoid damage to plants in summer. You will need to spend approximately 30 minutes working on the garden.
You will find the link to the “Garden Watering Plan – Helpers” spreadsheet posted on our Community Garden google classroom (code: xfr5ftp). Make sure you get your name checked off by the duty leader so that your service is recorded.
6 lunchtimes per term for watering and/or weeding for one service. Community Service hours are logged separately during each individual event.
