Carson City’s The Greenhouse Project in ‘urgent need’ of volunteer help at Carson Tahoe's Foothill Garden
Carson City’s local non-profit, the Greenhouse Project, is in urgent need of volunteer help at their Foothill Garden site located at the Carson Tahoe Medical Center campus.
According to Jon Ruiter, Executive Director of the Greenhouse Project, the cheat grass is comping up strong this time of year and weeding help is needed.
The Foothill Garden was built in 2017 by a partnership of the Greenhouse Project and Carson Tahoe Health on the Carson Tahoe Regional Medical Center’s campus.
The garden is located behind the Cancer Center, and includes a large hoop house with several raised plant beds, which, alongside the Carson Tahoe Creekside Garden, provides vegetables year-round to the Eagle Valley Children’s Home and Meals on Wheels.
On the mornings of Wednesday June 2 and Thursday June 3 from 8 a.m. to noon, there will be "drop in" volunteer opportunities.
If you would like to help and can spare an hour or two (or more!), please come to the Foothill Garden site behind the Carson Tahoe Cancer Center at 1535 Medical Pkwy in Carson City.
The Foothill Garden Manager, Will Pierz, will be there to direct volunteers. You can drop in any time during those two mornings. There will be tools available, but if you have your own garden gloves, please bring them.
