Volunteer Opportunities
Hello, Friends!
We hope you enjoyed a wonderful Earth Day this past Monday. If you cruised through this year’s observance without giving it much thought, or if you simply didn’t get a chance celebrate, fear not. Sow Much Good will continue the celebration of our miraculous Mother Earth on this Saturday, April 27th from 9:30 a.m – 12:30 p.m. We’ll host this weekend’s planned volunteer event as part of the 2013 Arbor Day festivities that will take place in cities across the country. What we have planned is a day of planting to include gorgeous apple trees that will create the foundations for a beautiful orchid at our newest farm site AND will soon bear Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith and Honey Crisp apples for the communities we serve.
Won’t you join us on Saturday? We can’t think of any better way to honor the Earth than to celebrate Arbor Day by adding to the bountiful goodness the land so faithfully yields. We hope to see you on Saturday for what we know will be a rewarding and restorative experience for Mother Earth and for all of us as Her inhabitants and as stewards of the land.
