What to Expect: 

• Volunteer days at FBFF involve various gardening and site maintenance activities that vary by season. Sometimes we are planting and sowing seeds, sometimes we are spreading mulch, working on pathways and irrigation, pruning or cutting back vegetation, etc. It's always a beautiful day and a learning opportunity. Come prepared to be plugged in to a task by the FBFF Plant Team volunteers.

What to Bring:

• Full water bottle

• [Optional] your own gardening gloves and tools

• Whatever weather protection is needed that day (sun protection, a rain jacket, etc.)

• Whatever else you need to be safe and satisfied (snacks, medication, EpiPen, etc)

• Plant Team Volunteers often stay after the work day to unwind and socialize in the park for a bit -- you are welcome to join, and might consider packing a lunch or a cooler (no glass).

• Park along the street, but please don't block the curb cut/ramp for those in wheelchairs, which at the northwest edge.
