We have a small, part-time staff, so we will want to make sure we have enough tasks ready for volunteer gardeners. Please come dressed for the weather, and be ready to work alongside our staff.

We have an opportunity for experienced grant writers that would like to help propel our efforts for continual infrastructure upgrades.

If you are interested, please email jp@kruckeberg.org.
