Workshops and Events
We need to build some new raised beds! Many of our beds are falling apart and the bordering timbers should be replaced. If you have a love of building raised beds (or an interest in learning how!) please contact us. We'd love to get at least a few beds done before the start of the season, but we need help!
We're looking for people skilled in website design to help keep our website beautiful and functional! Please contact info.rubygarden@gmail.com if you're willing to volunteer.
Keep a look out for workshop announcements this season. We're looking into fresh herb Kombucha classes, mushroom cultivation, vermiculture (worm composting), and sprouting seeds. If you'd like to attend these, or have other suggestions, please contact us! Want to lead a workshop, let us know!

*Workdays are times for all gardeners to come together and work to improve and maintain our garden spaces. This often includes wood chip spreading. compost maintenance, weeding walkways and maintaining community plots in the center of, and sounding, our garden.
Each group or household is required to attend two of the four workdays each season. If you are unable to attend at least two workdays, you need to contact the leadership committee and arrange another time to volunteer in garden maintenance.
