Do you like to garden? Do you have a few hours, once a week during the summer, to do a light weeding and water the ESA gardens?
- Volunteers – staff, students, parents, friends – are needed to mind our garden for one week each during the summer.
- This typically means watering once, subject to weather conditions.
- You do need to be able to get to the school between 7am and 2:30pm… the task takes approx. 1.5 hours.
Environment Canada’s 3 month summer forecasts suggests that this summer will be a little warmer than usual, with just about our usual to be expected precipitation levels. This means the gardens, despite being almost exclusively native plant materials, really could use some TLC throughout the summer months.
- If we get a good rain the week you’re on, it’s a free pass.
- If it’s a scorcher that week, a second day of minding is greatly appreciated.
Community service hours are available for students who participate in summer maintenance.
Send en e-mail to enid.wray@tdsb.on.ca indicating which week(s) you would be available to assist. We’re building the schedule now…
Many thanks in advance.
