The Slow Food Nation Victory Garden needs volunteers!

[Guest guest]

Located outside in the Civic Center area of San Francisco, the

Victory Garden was just planted a few weeks ago and features a wide

variety of heritage organic vegetables suited to the Bay Area

microclimate. Food grown will be donated to those with limited

access to healthy organic produce through a partnership with local

food banks and meals programs. This is the first time the Civic

Center has seen an edible garden on its lawn since 1943, and the

Victory Garden will be in operation DAILY from now until September

19, 2008.

 

Here is the full need:

 

Garden Docents: 4-8 Needed Daily; July 21 through September 19

This is a great opportunity for people to learn about the inner-

workings and details of the Victory Garden and share their knowledge

with a diversity of visitors. Must be well-spoken and out-going as

responsibilities include answering questions from the general

public, and either leading or assisting with tours and garden-based

education activities. Morning shifts (9:00am to 1:00pm) and

afternoon shifts (12:30pm to 4:30pm) are available, or sign up for a

full day! Training and materials provided.

 

Ideally, volunteers will commit to working a regular weekly schedule

(for example, every Thursday morning) – or will sign up for at least

FOUR (4) total shifts. If you are interested in this opportunity,

please send an email titled " GARDEN DOCENT " to Anna Fleishman,

Victory Garden Volunteer Coordinator, at anna

 

Stay tuned for more volunteer opportunities with Slow Food Nation.
