The store will have:
· Plants, seeds and soil, pots, pest control products, tools and light hardware
· Workshops on gardening and health
The co-op will:
· Be owned by members (shoppers and workers) and rely on their skills, knowledge, and participation
· Be committed to the neighborhood and city
We are looking for volunteers to help us:
· Assist with outreach to the community
· Develop the website, brochures and flyers
· Translate materials into Spanish, Haitian Creole, and Cape Verdean Creole
· Research cooperative business models and help with market study
· Come to Steering Committee meetings to plan the store
