The Garden Team supports Miraloma’s Garden Program and helps maintain our native plantings, educational garden and greenhouse, and ensures the well being of our school chickens by providing on site care outside of school hours.

We host weekend Garden Work Days that include weeding, planting and pruning. Additionally, we have larger scale projects such as irrigation, storage shed construction and installation of our outdoor kitchen in the works too. Look for updates in the newsletter, on our website and the bulletin board across from 108.

Tasks:

• Garden maintenance through Garden Work Parties & Brunch
• Coordination of large scale garden projects
• Chicken care
• Organizing guest speaker for PTA meeting (Wednesday February 15, 2012 at 8am)
• Coordination of student plant sale at the Spring Festival (Sunday May 13, 2012 at 12-3pm)

There are so many ways to help with Miraloma’s Gardens. Even an hour of weeding on your own time makes a huge difference. No experience necessary. Please check the garden bulletin board in the upper hallway across from room 108 or the Dragon Digest for Garden Event dates and contact garden@miralomasf.com with any questions.

Chicken Care

We also train volunteers in the simple caring of the chickens. This involves letting the chickens out of the coop in the morning and returning them to the coop in the evening, filling feed and water containers and cleaning the coop and surrounding pen.

Since the students cover the morning chores when school is in session, we provide coverage for evenings, weekends, holidays. This is a job for the whole family! Contact chickens@miralomasf.com to volunteer for chicken care.
