Volunteer at the TJMS Community Garden
TJMS Community Garden Volunteer Policy
Families and community volunteers are welcome to join the TJMS Garden Club on Saturday mornings from 10:00am to noon. We can accommodate up to 20 people comfortably because we are a large garden.
In order to keep this timeframe engaging and productive for the TJMS Garden Club members, we ask that children under 6th grade be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Highlights of the second garden workday of the season:
- golden ragwort is blooming in the pollinator garden. Our first native blooms of the year!
- a few bags of micro greens (aka chickweed, which can be used like spinach,) headed for pizza night and green smoothies
- broccoli planted
- pea rows weeded and ready to go
- one of our most troublesome patches temporarily covered with black plastic to solarize the weeds
- and some wonderful volunteers, including several TJ teachers, on this gorgeous but very windy day ... See MoreSee Less

Bees on the lavender
We bought this pump sprayer for about $12 halfway through the summer and it made it SO MUCH EASIER to spray the milk and water mixture we use for powdery mildew on the squash. Best $12 all summer!
Working with HS students who’ve been involved with the garden since they were in 6th grade.
That our plants are healthy enough in October to compost them— and that we will have enough compost in a couple of weeks for our new table-height wheelchair accessible garden beds.
Beautiful zinnias!

A quiet but productive workday today, where we gave away a flat of strawberries to one of the local elementary school gardens, pulled out the last of the squash, cucumbers, and pumpkins, and planted bok choy and kale to replace them. We even started to take up the irrigation system. We are definitely winding down for the season. #schoolgarden #fallgarden #volunteer ... See MoreSee Less
