Volunteers worked here in the garden all day. It was part of their three-day, peer-led orientation adventures for incoming first-year students at University of Vermont.
Many hands accomplished needful projects that we hadn’t tackled amid the ongoing demands of garden maintenance. Students gleaned fresh food, which we brought to a free community lunch to feed our neighbors at a free community lunch.
These volunteers’ hard work will benefit garden health and productivity this season and in seasons yet to come.
