City Slicker Farms back yard garden Volunteer Orientations
Greetings!
City Slicker Farms is proud to announce the official launch of our
Back Yard Garden Program. This program builds and maintains organic
back yard gardens with low income West Oakland residents in order to
increase nutrition and improve the environment in our community.
Each participant receives two 4x8 planter boxes with trellises, a
fruit tree, soil, plants, seeds, a compost bin and a West Oakland
Gardening Guide to start with. Then, once each quarter we make a
visit to provide more plants, seeds and compost and to work with the
participants to maintain their garden and answer questions. Every
six months they can receive two more beds if they wish.
We invite you to work with us to bring organic produce to lower
income folks in our community. We need volunteers who like to build
and install gardens (usually in a group of 2-5 people) as well as
knowledgeable gardeners to make the quarterly follow-up visits (to
work in pairs). We are looking for volunteers who would like to
make a committment of at least six months and at least 4 hours per
month.
To learn more you are invited to attend a two-hour Volunteer
Orientation. We have two orientations scheduled for this Fall. We
will be touring different sites so bring a vehicle or a bicycle
(there will be some extra seats in cars if you come by BART). See
below for details and call 510-763-4241 to RSVP or for more
information.
