At Perkins, I spent most of my time working alongside the volunteer director, Lisa Mosca, in the greenhouse. Although I had little to no gardening experience, I was able to assist with potting and organizing plants in preparation for the annual Perkins Plant Sale. I would come in on Mondays and Fridays for a few hours at a time to help Lisa transfer plants into more appealing pots that could be sold to customers. Perkins is a nonprofit organization, so events like the Plant Sale are incredibly important for supporting the business and helping with funding. I enjoyed planting and found it to be a relaxing activity. I know I will continue planting on my own time, and I hope to volunteer at Perkins again in the future.
