Food ED will be hosting volunteer events at two schools in Temple City for Climate Action Day. One event will take place at the high school, which has an extensive fruit tree orchard in need of care, and the other will be at a newly built garden at a middle school in Temple City. These spaces are part of our educational facilities, where our CCAC Fellows teach students and community members. These garden spaces include food gardens, fruit tree orchards, native plant and pollinator gardens, and bioswale areas that increase rain capture. Volunteers would help remove past season plants to make space for new fruits and vegetables, prune, weed, and maintain existing plants, add soil to raised beds and spread mulch for weed suppression, and perform other garden maintenance tasks. Volunteers would also learn about how to sow seeds, plant new plants into garden spaces, and receive safety training and education around common garden tools. Volunteers of all ages are always welcome, and we often have low-physical-activity-friendly ways to support too, such as preparing native pollinator plant seed packets.
