Volunteer Description:
The Chicago Park District is looking for volunteers to assist with the Harvest Garden program offered at 16 parks citywide. The program introduces children to the art of gardening. Each location creates their own working organic vegetable garden that they plant, tend and harvest throughout the year. Volunteers are needed to work with the children and assist with maintenance. Community members are encouraged to "adopt" or work with their local Harvest Garden location. Volunteers will also be needed for the Harvest Garden's culminatingHarvest Festivalon Thursday, August 2.
