Call for Gardeners!
First Universalist has received a generous donation of large outdoor planters. We need to have a design party to decide how to incorporate flowers and additional vegetable spaces into our existing garden in the southwest alcove of the church. Please help! An ongoing commitment is not required. We will also need waterers, weeders, harvesters. Please contact Sarah Singal if you can assist with any of these actions at
