About this event

We will plant seedlings in raised beds with students.

Each day has two shifts: • Shift 1: 9:20am – 12:30pm • Shift 2: 12:00pm – 3:30pm
(If you sign up for Shift 2, please plan to arrive at 12:00pm to observe before jumping in at 12:10!)
We're looking for 6–8 volunteers per shift.

Here's a peek at the 20-minute program each class will rotate through
Station 1 — Story Time
Mrs. Johnson reads a garden-themed book to the class while our volunteers get ready at their stations.
Station 2 — Show & Tell
3 CGC volunteers share printed materials and real vegetables with the children — a little education, a little wonder, a little show-and-tell magic.
Station 3 — Let's Plant!
3 CGC volunteers guide 7 children at a time in planting radishes, cucumbers, and snap peas in raised beds. Little hands, big joy!
Station 4 — Leaf Rubbing Craft
Teacher-supervised craft time — children create leaf rubbings to take home as a keepsake.
