PASCA Monthly Volunteer Orientation and Training!!

Join us for our volunteer orientation and training event with Plant and Soul California! Never volunteered with PASCA before? New to gardening and plants? We host this event on the 2nd Saturday of every month from 9am-12:30pm, for folks just like you. Training is followed up by a lunch featuring delicious meals with plants fresh from our gardens. Orientation is required for new volunteers and highly recommended for volunteers that have been with us for a while. You will likely learn an array of new things about PASCA, including additional opportunities to volunteer and support our community! We will tour our garden at 76 Race St. Participants will learn about the background and goals of our organization, as well as essential skills such as propagating and transplanting native plants, composting, and harvesting food. It will be a great opportunity to connect with fellow volunteers and learn more about our mission! During the training, you will receive tea and some lovely snacks. At the end of the training, you will be treated to a delicious lunch made mostly from organic and California native food plants. Please make sure to sign up in advance so we know how many people we will need to feed! Orientation Agenda: 9am — Welcome & Tea 9:15am — Meet Mother Earth & Ice Breakers 9:45am — Garden Tour 10am — Organization Overview, History & Next Steps 10:30am — Composting, Harvesting, & Propagating 11:30am — Volunteer Activity 12pm — Lunch (including food from harvest!)

We look forward to welcoming you to our organization and helping you become a valuable member of our volunteer team!
