Recess volunteers monitor the garden during recess and lunch times so that students in grades 2 through 5 may visit the garden. Volunteers must get cleared per PUSD requirements. No gardening experience or green thumb is required (but enthusiasm is encouraged)! 

Outdoor classroom volunteers lead or assist classroom sessions and tours in the garden. Sessions may be requested by teachers, or proposed by volunteers. (Lots of great videos and resources are available for ideas!). Volunteers must get cleared per PUSD requirements. 

General maintenance volunteers help with weeding, watering, harvesting, pruning, cleaning storage bins, and raking leaves. Scheduling is flexible and can include monthly cleanup days. Volunteers may also assist with and/or propose special projects (compost, construction, etc).

The RHLG Planning Committee meets monthly to review garden projects and proposals, assess maintenance needs and planting schedules, evaluate grants and funding sources, and prioritize opportunities. Members are expected to serve in an advisory capacity only and should estimate 1-3 hours per month for attending planning sessions and/or reviewing planning materials. All garden volunteers past and present are encouraged to join; as is anyone in the Rolling Hills community with skills and experience in the areas above. 

Friends of the Garden receive news about garden activities, events, and opportunities for engagement.
