Each year we've enjoyed meeting & working with up to 22 new seasonal volunteers plus a few longer term persons.  Climate Change is presenting some challenges such as hot dry times and smokey air days!  It's up to all of us together to help native wildflowers, bees, and butterflies adapt in our urban landscape. 

Job Description:

2. A weekly 2-hour work-meet for general gardening plant care, learn about bees etc. . 
3. You may take on other activities & roles that suit your interest as they come up.  
4. If you have some experience, you may want to help coordinate one of 4 main plant beds.
5. Volunteer social happenings, such as the August Pride street party event,  plant sales ....  We hope to continue monthly non-work get togethers. 
6. Frank Garden is connected with other garden groups in easy walking distance. So you can explore and move around if you wish. 
7. We hope for every volunteer to enjoy their experience and learn about nature. And we are proud to create a garden of beauty and interest for neighbours and visitors to enjoy & take photos.
