Garden Committees
Helping to Make a Difference
The Community Garden thrives only with contributions from our members. Each Gardener selects one or more committees to participate in each year. We try to fit gardeners to their first choice. Here are a list of the current committees and positions. Selections are made each March.

New committees can be created based upon gardener interest!
