We recommend you bring a reusable water bottle, hat, sunglasses and sunscreen. All volunteers are required to wear pants and protective footwear (tennis shoes or boots – no sandals or flipflops). Be sure to wear clothing you don't mind getting wet or muddy. The Litter Gitter II will provide all the tools and equipment necessary to collect debris. We are limited on how many volunteers can sign up for this event due to space constraints on the vessel. Please register for this event via this form.

#GrowYourGroceries The Easy Way - Getting Started You want to grow your groceries, but there are so many questions: Where should I put my garden? How should I prepare the soil? What should I grow, and when? How much space does everything need? Stop Googling, and join Man in Overalls to learn how growing your groceries is easier than washing your dishes with the right guidance, good soil, and support. Expect stories and a collaborative workshop session. Bring your questions. (Experienced gardeners also welcome.) Riverside Avondale Community Garden is located at Park and Azalea Terrace across from the WillowBranch Library. There is additional street parking available on Azalea and Mallory. |
