GARDEN VOLUNTEER DAYS

VOLUNTEER SIGN-UPS


The Peterson Garden is Peterson Elementary’s little slice of nature! 🌱 Located next to the TK and Kindergarten area, it’s a place to dig in the dirt, grow and harvest veggies, pick flowers, read with friends, and enjoy the sunshine. Butterflies, birds, bees, and lizards love it too!
Our garden is a place to learn, explore, relax, and connect with nature. Best of all, it’s cared for by our wonderful volunteers and you don’t need a green thumb to join us! Come get your hands dirty and help the Peterson Garden grow! 🌻🐝🌿
