New Roots Youth Garden Needs Volunteers

The Cape Charles New Roots Youth Garden (NRYG) is gearing up for another great garden season! Our mission is to connect our young people with fresh produce – from seed to table – through outdoor experiential learning and fun. Each week youth participate in hands-on gardening, experiential learning, and get fit activities.

If you have a love of gardening, love working with children or if you are looking for a way to become involved in our community, NRYG would love for you to join our team of dedicated volunteers.

They invite you to join us on Wednesday, May 9 to learn more about the many ways with which you can help make this season’s garden the best one yet. The meeting will be held from 5:00 – 6:30 p.m. in the upstairs meeting room at Rayfield’s Pharmacy (entrance door next to Rayfield’s drive-up window).

They also invite you to take a tour of the garden and or attend our annual Blessing of the Worms event on Saturday, April 28. The garden will be open for tours and other activities beginning at 9:00 a.m., with the Blessing of the Worms event starting at 3:00 p.m. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet many of our volunteers as well as youth who participate in our program. We encourage you to fill out a volunteer interest form while visiting the garden!
