Volunteers will dig, mulch, lay stones, plant, fill sandboxes, assemble learning stations and much more. Be prepared to be on your feet, lifting, bending, reaching and squatting. Dress is casual; must wear closed-toed shoes and be prepared for potentially cold weather. Volunteers will be able to take rest breaks. Lunch is provided.
