put yo hands in dirt at morven kitchen gardens

OVERVIEW

Owen and I missed Morven this summer and can’t wait to get our hands dirty and touch some plants! Morven Kitchen Garden is UVA’s project in sustainable agriculture, and it’s a really cool place to spend a warm Friday afternoon. This trip is beginner-friendly, and the volunteer work is mostly small manual labor tasks, like harvesting produce, weeding, etc. Be sure to bring water/snacks and clothes you feel comfortable gardening and getting dirty in!

This week’s work will mainly consist of maintaining (hanging out, weeding, spreading mulch) the newly cultivated upper plot which includes sunflowers, peanuts, asparagus, and more. New members are welcome!! Be sure to bring water/snacks and clothes you feel comfortable getting very dirty and that match Friday’s weather.

The plan:
3 PM – leave from corner of Echols
3:30 pm – 5:30 pm– volunteer!
6 pm – back home
