Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Email 1801glenwoodgreenacres@gmail.com to ask about a plot, or to offer help with grounds work..
You need to sign up first.
What to expect
Volunteers help with weeding, watering, planting and general grounds upkeep. Visitors can come to the monthly meetings on the second Tuesday in season, but the page gives no meeting time or place and no work-day dates, so the email is the place to ask. The page does not cover plot fees or gardener rules.
Tips for your first visit
- Email first, since meeting times and place are not on the website.
- Ask about the next work day if you want to help out before getting a plot.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Anyone can email to ask about a plot or to help with upkeep. The page says plots depend on availability and gives no waitlist or open-day details..
