Volunteer Army – Fairview Elementary School

Join Tammy & Kipper for a Volunteer Army Project @ Fairview Elementary School!

When is it? Saturday, August 11th,  9 am start.

Where is Fairview Elementary School? 1355 Charlotte Hwy, Fairview

What will we be doing? The school has a garden that’s used as an education tool for the student body. We’ll be whipping it into shape for the start of the new school year: mulching, pruning, weeding, etc.

Do I need any special skills? Nope. Just you, your gardening gloves, and any hand tools you want to use or share.

How long will it take? It should only take a couple of hours at most.

Can kids come? Yes! This is definitely a great project for the family.

What do I do next? Get signed up here!
