FALL VOLUNTEERING OPPORTUNITY WITH GROW NASHUA
 
 
 
 
Grow Nashua
seeks fall garden close-out helpers!
Grow Nashua invites you to lend a hand cleaning up this fall at one of its seven school and urban garden sites!
Each year, Grow Nashua members and volunteers finish up the season with the important step of closing down the school and urban community gardens.  It is important to remove old debris and cover the soil, to keep the gardens healthy and happy for the gardeners the following season.
Activities include trimming back dead plants, raking up debris, weeding, adding some soil amendments, and spot mulching worn areas.  
No experience necessary and all ages welcome! Lend a hand, get some fresh air and exercise, and learn a thing or two about fall garden shutdown in the process!  CLICK BELOW TO SIGN UP! 
 
 
GRAB A RAKE!
