Community Work Days & Potluck Work Days
Anyone with even a small garden knows that the work of a gardener is never done. Imagine all that needs to be done to maintain our three-quarter acre mini-farm and gardens!
Come by Saturdays between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. to get your hands dirty, meet your neighbors, and maybe even take home some of the fruits (or veggies) of your labor. Then enjoy a nice potluck we have on Saturdays. It's what we call our Saturday Potluck Workdays.
Working in the Garden can also be a great team building exercise or community service project. If you are interested in bringing your group out to the Gilroy Demonstration Garden, please contact us at 408-607-4237 or demonstrationgarden@gmail.com.
