Community Gardens of Henry County,Inc.
Our Windy Hill gardeners need your help to plant their Spring gardens! The members here at this beautiful garden grow vegetables for themselves and their families, but gardening can be hard work, and outside help is both needed and appreciated. You don't need special skills to help, just two hands and a willing heart! We will be right there to show you what to do! This is an excellent opportunity to lend a hand in the community, learn gardening, and meet others. Volunteers will, as always, need their work gloves and we will serve the drinks.
