  • Wear close-toed work shoes / boots.

  • Bring work / gardening gloves (we will have gloves available on-site if needed!).

  • Dress for the weather and to get messy (we plant rain or shine, please wear layers!).

  • Training and tools (shovels, etc.) will be provided on-site.

  • Bring a water bottle / snack (we will have a refillable water jug on-site!).
