Senior Organic Gardeners is alive and well… having had a busy spring and summer with Rob Danforth as SOG Gardening Coach offering numerous ZOOM workshops and Q&A’s. We are winding down the growing & harvest season and getting ready for the Horticultural Therapy activities during the winter months (December through March) until the next Spring Symposium in March-April.
Chelsea will be springing into action on the horticultural therapy winter activities.
The SOG Team is expanding to include a financial affairs volunteer to keep track of local and grant expenditures relating to our SOG budget. Welcome aboard Siddharth Soni!
We are currently seeking funding for the creation of a SOG Guide for senior gardeners and for new staff and volunteers as well as gearing up to apply for funding for a streamlined SOG program for 2022.
Margaret is retiring as Director and Lead Volunteer for the Senior Organic Gardeners Program but will continue as a Steering Committee Member. Betty Weil is coming aboard as the new SOG Program Director in early October. She comes to us after retirement as a teacher and coordinator of The Learning Partnership and an experienced, passionate gardener. Welcome to the COG OSO Steering Committee and to Senior Organic Gardeners, Betty!
