How are your school and youth gardens approaching the growing season? In Vermont, Christine's gardens are ramping up production to increase food donations and more folks are volunteering than ever before! Here are a few protocols they've established to keep volunteers safe:
1. Creating and sharing a Safe Gardening Guidelines document for all volunteers
2. Encouraging volunteers to bring their own tools but providing sanitizer for all high touch tools and surfaces
3. Encouraging volunteers to wear masks
4. Creating volunteer schedules to limit the number of individuals or families working at the same time
How are your programs adapting? Are you seeing more or less interest in volunteering? What new protocols are in place?
