Garden Work Hour Times

Weather changes everything...

While we dress for the weather and dig in... sometimes the garden manager will call it due to rain/snow/sleet/or dead of night. When in doubt, contact your garden manager.

 Mondays at 3pm - Harvest for Brinnon

○ duration: 1-2 hours depending on the season, what is growing in the garden and how many people show up

○ this coming season I am going to also have a list of cultivation tasks for people to do if there is not enough harvesting work or they want to put some more time in the garden

Wednesdays at 8am - Harvest for Port Townsend

  • duration: 1-1.5 hours
  • delivery must be to PT Food Bank before 9:30am
  • this is a supplemental harvest since our main focus is Brinnon

Thursdays 9-10am rolling start time - Cultivation

    ○ duration: we like people to commit being there for 2 hours, but we will take any help we can

○ I create an email for the work party with all tasks to be completed and send it out to volunteers the day before the work party; this list is also printed off for the work party and volunteers can choose what tasks they want to work on/complete
