I am once again looking for some young people to help with garden work. I had some great kids, who are now out of town or otherwise unavailable, alas. I need some digging (I’ve managed to wrench my wrist with an ongoing injury), mostly weeding. $20 / hr for college students, $15 / hr for high school students. Send me your children. ![]()
I’ve been wanting (for a few years now) to put together a little Garden Apprentice Program for the garden club group — I see this kind of request all the time there. If you’re interested in helping me manage that kind of thing (because kids will inevitably leave for school, etc.), let me know. I think if we have 3-4 adults helping with it, we could put together something really nice without much work.
I’m thinking something like this:
• name
• phone # to text
• rate
• area of town (i.e., NE Oak Park)
• has car / can drive for garden errands
• type of tasks available for: (i.e., weeding, mowing, trimming • low trees, planting, vacation watering, general watering)
• gardener skill level: beginner / intermediate / advanced
• has tools or needs tools provided
• adult contact in case of emergency
What else should go on that kind of list?
