HELP TURN THE CITY GREEN!
VOLUNTEER FOR THE GREAT PERENNIAL DIVIDE
The Great Perennial Divide is an annual event hosted by Gateway Greening to provide plants donated from St. Louis backyard gardeners to 160 community gardens and citizen managed green spaces in the urban core. Join this extraordinary effort by lifting a hand, or a shovel, in support of a "plant"roots neighborhood beautification.
Volunteer opportunities are available March, April and May.
* Dig plants at residential gardens for distribution to community gardens.
* Pot and water plants at a plant collection site in a neighborhood near you.
* Label, sort and water plants in preparation for the event. Shifts available on May 1st - 4th from 9am-12pm and or 1pm-4pm.
Amateur and experienced gardeners alike can contribute to community gardens while learning more about perennials, bulbs, and shrubs. To volunteer, contact Renee Davidson at (314) 577-0284 or sign up online at www.gatewaygreening.org/volunteeropportunities.html
Join us at the Carriage House, 3815 Bell Avenue (located at Vandeventer , two blocks north of Delmar), for a Volunteer Orientation on Saturday, April 7 at 10am or on Saturday April 14 at 10am.
