Get involved -- Volunteer with us!
|
We are looking for volunteers to reinforce the network as a central hub of support and information for new and established community gardeners alike. People can take on new projects with SDCGN, or they can add a SDCGN association to their existing community roles. Here are the positions we are seeking in order to create a countywide community of community gardeners, and we are open to additional ideas as people become more involved.
