Calling all Sunshine Gardeners
Our Annual plant sale will be held March 5, 2016
This is our most important fund raiser and requires many gardeners to swing into action to help with all of the preparations and activities during and after the plant sale. Most of the volunteer activities are during the plant sale (9-2), but there are before and after tasks also. If you help with the sale, you may buy plants Friday evening (3/4) after 5 pm. Your volunteer time will fulfill service hours. It is up to you to record your hours in the online green binder. No cars will be allowed in Sunshine after 4 o'clock on Friday until Sunday 3/7.
On the day of the sale there are two shifts - AM 8:30 to 11:30 and PM 11:30 to 2:30. Additionally, you have the option of working the entire day or if you can only work overlapping shifts that is fine.
Jobs include the following and a brief description. If you have any questions contact Ila.falvey@gmail.com.
