Volunteer registration is now open for Day in the Dirt!, Saturday, May 3 – Green Up Day – in Burlington. This Vermont Community Garden Network (VCGN) event is presented in partnership with UVM’s Department of Community Development & Applied Economics, Burlington Parks & Recreation and Green Mountain Compost, and is sponsored by Gardener’s Supply and a host of other local businesses.
Ten business-sponsored teams and individual garden superheroes will work on school and community garden projects around the city to give the sites a spring boost and raise funds for VCGN, which provides technical assistance, training, resources and grants for garden groups in Burlington and around the state.
All volunteers get a T-shirt and delicious lunch provided by Boloco Burritos, Healthy Living Market & Café, Chubby Muffin, Ben & Jerry’s and g.housen. This year’s team sponsors are Fletcher Allen Health Care, Redstone, Healthy Living Market & Café, City Market, Seventh Generation, Burton Snowboards and Dealer.com.
