__ Organize craft supplies that is used in Granny's Craft Room at special event i.e. the Cincinnati Flower Show in April. This is on-going.  We routinely receive donations of various items that are integrated into the craft room.  We are seeking 2-3 creative people to oversee the project, come up with ideas for things to make with the donated items and keep supplies organized.  This has to be done at the office.

__ Organize our seeds: compile a database of how much we have of what seeds.  This has to be done at the office.

__ Trade seeds we have for seeds we are seeking.  There are websites, i.e. the Garden Web where people from across the country connect to trade seeds.  We receive donations of many flower and vegetable seeds but we also have a list of seeds we are seeking, i.e. downy sunflower, anthriscus sylvestris ravenswing, and snow on the mountain.  This can be done from home.

__ Writers - write articles to submit to various media sources. There are many behind the scene stories we would like to share, i.e. The classes that are exchanging information and ideas with a classes at a school in Scotland that also have school gardens. The many Eagle Scouts that have completed projects in the gardens.  The classes that are bringing joy to members of the community through the Bouquets Wheels Programs. The Granny's Garden School board members who are doing a great job of developing a structure that will support the organization into the future.

 __ Sustainable School Garden Growing Project - we are developing a model for growing perennials and annuals from seed and cuttings - without a greenhouse - that can be sold to raise funds to support the school garden program.  This program continues year around.  We need volunteers to work with our project manager on all aspects of the project.  What you will be doing will vary depending on the season. 

Each season we set a schedule of when we will be working in the gardens and invite you to join us.  The time of day changes to take best advantage of seasonal temperatures. i.e. March - April temperatures are usually most comfortable 10-3.  As it warms up we start and stop earlier.  Then October-November we are back to mid day.

.__ Work in the gardens __ by myself __ with others.  Some people enjoy socializing with others as they work in the gardens while others prefer to work on their own, sometimes listening to music.  The set times mentioned above are good for those who like to socialize.  If you like to work alone we can give you specific job assignments or, if you are an experienced gardener, and we know you will not mistake our sunflower seedlings for weeds, you can come whenever works for you.

__ Community Service Weekends in March and April.  We designate a number of weekends in March and April as community services weekends to accommodate the high school and college students who need to complete their community service commitments before the graduate.
