Put on your favorite garden hat and join in the fun!

Happy Beautiful Fall Day!
 
Springs Mountain Sangha is asking for volunteers to volunteer for a Work Day at Creek Bend Gardens, Sunday, November 1, 10am-Noon. We will do this safely by thoughtfully keeping our safe space between one another, with masks on,  and portolet on site with soap and hand sanitizer. Please don’t come if you aren’t feeling well.
 
Lately members have been expressing the desire to see and be with one another outside of Zoom This is a way to do be together for ourselves, for each other, and for our sangha- whose main hub has been at our teacher’s residence since March. 
 
Tasks range from small to large, no weight to lightweight; and pushing a heavy wheelbarrow full of mulch. There is something for everyone- and we even need encouragement and connection- so sitting in a chair with us as others physically work is welcome and encouraged! – it all helps.
 
Here’s the dirt:
 
 When: Sunday November 1, 10am-12noon
