South Lansing Urban Gardens
Project Description
Getting dirty! Spring preparations in the hoop houses, including weeding, seed starting, seed transplanting, and possibly some barn organization. We can work rain or shine, and if the sun is out dress in layers because the hoop structures and the greenhouse can get warm!
