THE COMMON GROUND NEEDS YOUR HELP 

In order for the gardens at the park to look and be vibrant and alive, we need many hands to help tend them. Please join our gardening season from 9 am to noon. Tools are provided or bring your favorite ones. As always, there are chores for the non-gardeners in our community, too. Please come to experience the joy of volunteering your time and leaving your "mark" on our beautiful community garden.

Gardening and classes are on the first and third Saturdays of every month from 9 am to noon beginning in April. Please check back here for exact dates for these events:
