Volunteer Gardening
.
Every Saturday, I share my weekly Artist Date.
I’ve volunteered in my church’s bookstore for years. Now that I work on staff in that department, I wanted to find a new place to serve. This is my new place to volunteer.
I joined our landscape team…the Green Thumb team. A friend and I will tend to the perennial bed on the west side of campus.
It’s really unexpected that this would be my choice, because I’m not a gardener by inclination.
I picked this team because there’s great flexibility when it comes to the time you serve.
I also thought it would be a very calming and reflective place to volunteer. A great place to take a little Artist Date.
Oh…and because my friend asked me, “Hey, do you want to be on the Green Thumb team this year?” Sometimes a good choice isn’t obvious until someone brings it to your attention.
Well, at least you weren’t nominated to be on a committee without saying yes! BOL! That is a beautiful place and I bet it will be calming!
LOL, I am not saying a word……

I am sure you will love the gardening and will soon get to know what all the plants are.
SHE’s afraid that garden would be toast if SHE volunteered to care for it!
XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
Beautiful garden!

We would love to see photos of the grounds as the seasons pass – bet you find it very relaxing and peaceful too.
That’s a great idea.
I’m not a gardener but I love gardens. That looks like a wonderful place to work, it would beat an office … most days:)
What a beautiful place to volunteer! I’d probably love to do it, but I don’t have a green thumb, I have a brown one. I’d kill everything in sight – and I can never prune properly because I had cutting things back!
That’s wonderful. Mom wants to volunteer too someday. yes gardening can be calming. Happy Gardening. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
What a beautiful garden and how lovely to volunteer BUT Lori please tell me how you find time to work, volunteer take care of the hounds and craft.
Feeling seriously inadequate here LOL.

It looks much more ideal on my blog, Sue (ha).
Perhaps being part of such a great team will teach you the green thumb (and if you get one, send it to me)!
Oh, now that’s asking a lot. My goal is to do no damage.
That is a gorgeous garden and what a wonderful place to volunteer.
When I was a lot younger I loved working in the gadens!! It is hard work but is so worth it!!! Good for you!!!
Flowers are good for the soul!
