๐Ÿ Fall Session 2025

๐Ÿ—“ Dates: September 1 - November 30, 2025 (13 weeks)

Participants commit to a weekly, three-hour shift filled with meaningful tasks and guided learning under the expertise of Annemarie Gero and Sarah Wiatrek. This session emphasizes preparation for our Fall Plant Sale, ensuring a vibrant and thriving season ahead.
