February Collective Garden Volunteer Day

**Bring a rain jacket if it looks like it might rain**

It's the final work day before we fully get into the growing season. Do you like lifting heavy objects and the satisfaction that comes with getting rid of things?

We'll be doing cleanup by loading a dumpster of debris long collected on site.

We also will do some maintenance on the edges of the garden. It's a great time to pull English ivy.

If we have enough people a group will also be working on shoring up a stone wall.

* IMPORTANT: there is not a reliable bathroom facility at our garden. We apologize for the inconvenience, it is something we are working on remediating. We understand if you have to leave early. Please figure this into your planning.

The food in the Collective Garden at Toplot is grown directly for the people like you who use their time and energy to plant and maintain it. Any left over food goes Food Rescue Baltimore or Baltimore Food not Bombs.

The Collective Garden is a co-learning space, so if there is something you want to know more about please ask! We also hope to learn from you and your experiences in the garden, the forest, or otherwise. Please bring drinking water. We provide tools, gloves and a hands washing station. Please bring a bag or something to take veggies home if you can.
