Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and local firemen are also often willing to help with a community project like a garden. Summer school classes can also help. Different families can be responsible for portions of the garden on different summer weeks. They should weed or cultivate every week to ten days and water the garden as weather conditions dictate. A recipe for an environmentally safe insect spray is given in the garden activity section.
Volunteers can also enjoy the garden's earliest fruits.
During the summer, the family members can take care of the school plots as well as their own. If you have a smaller garden, and want to use the entire plot for children, you can ask families to sign up for a week to maintain the garden during the summer. This is a great way to keep children involved, and help them take responsibility and to perform a community service. Send questions, comments, and corrections to the webmaster .
