Planting Day Details & Shift Sign-Up

October 21st is almost here! We are excited to be with you all and to see this planting get established. Everyone is welcome, but if you would like to help plant please review the details below:

Shift Sign-Up:

If you already expressed interest, you should have received an email with our shift sign-up form. Please fill that out to indicate your availability. Once you share your info with us, we will assign you to a shift and a volunteer team. We'll confirm those details with you in the week leading up to planting. Feel free to participate according to your ability - kids are encouraged to join in! And if you did not receive an email, you can find it here:https://forms.gle/matiTmndW9g1QyPF7

Timing and logistics:

We will start checking in volunteers at 9:30am, followed by remarks from Mayor Ballantyne at 10am. Planting shifts will last one hour and run from 10am - 3pm (or until we are finished). Please be sure to arrive at least one half hour before your shift begins to check in and get familiar with the process.

Please bring water, a hat and/or sunscreen, and clothes you can be comfortable in and don't mind getting dirty. We will have some equipment, including shovels and gloves, but we welcome extra supplies if you are able to contribute for the day.

Our planting site is at the back of Somerville High School, 310 Medford Street, near the high school loading dock. Nearby parking is extremely limited, so folks are encouraged to walk or take transit.

Please note: in case we need to reschedule based on weather, our rain date for planting is Sunday, October 22.

We hope to see you there and thanks!
