>>  A little bit about us: we are a law firm that hosts a Friends and
>> Family Day every year, and last year, we had an amazing time
>> volunteering at Maxwell St. Community Garden. It was such a huge hit!
>> Our group is a wonderful mix of ages and abilities, and we got

>> hedges. The kids had a blast too, with around 20 children (ages 2-14)
>> participating in fun activities. Last year, our group consisted of
>> about 75 enthusiastic volunteers.
>>
>> We are hoping to start our volunteering around 10am or 10:30am and
>> wrap up around 12pm. After that, we plan to enjoy a delightful lunch
>> at a nearby restaurant.
>>
>> Please let us know if you have any additional questions. We are
