  Hi Linda, 

  Welcome to the Valley and to the VPA!  Thank you for your interest in volunteering. We're excited to have a strong connection with the Master Gardener community.  We have lots of events through-out the year that often times require us to have volunteers who have a strong foundation in plant knowledge, so we're always looking to our wonderful MGs. As-a-matter-of-fact we currently have a strong need for MGs and MG Interns for the two upcoming Shade Tree events.  

  We ask MGs to be present and available for when workshop participants have questions regarding which tree(s) would best suit their needs.  The participants can choose between: native mesquite, thornless mesquite, blue palo verde, thornless palo verde (desert museum), willow acacia, and desert acacia.

  The two shade tree events coming-up are:
   

  4/14/2012 - Communiversity (Surprise) -

  4/21/2012 - Herrera School (South/Central Phoenix) - bilingual volunteers needed especially.

  Please let me know if you'd like to volunteer for the above events.

   

  The best way to stay abreast of all VPA Volunteer Opportunities is to go to the "Groups" tab and sign up to join the Volunteer Group.

   

  I look forward to working with you.

  Best,

  Kat Farris

  VPA Volunteer Coordinator
