Volunteers are needed 11/19 and 11/20 to help with the continuing move:

As Tricycle Gardens finalizes the move of our growing space from our HQ to the Urban Farm, we need your help to:

• transplant perennials
• clean and empty sub-irrigated raised beds
• dismantle the base of the green house

We will be joined by Junk Shuttle, LLC to transport gravel, lumber, plants, etc. We’ll provide snacks, water, gloves and tools.
