The JCC Arboretum is dedicating several rows of spring and fall vegetable crops to feed the hungry. Volunteers are needed to help grow the seedlings in the greenhouse, transplant and maintain the crops in the ground, and harvest the food for the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina. Knowledgeable staff will help you understand each of these processes while you gain valuable hands-on experience that you can transfer to your own home garden.
For more details or to sign up, please call Lin Frye, Arboretum director, at 919-209-2052 or Minda Daughtry, Arboretum technician, at 919-209-2184.
