Volunteer

Dozens of volunteers make May Market possible every year. It's a great way to meet people and enjoy beautiful spring weather. 

We ask volunteers to sign up for two-hour shifts. If you can help, please complete the form on the left or e-mail ArasaphaGarden@gmail.com.
 
Donated Home  & Garden Treasures is our indoor yard sale in the Arsenal and on the Green to the left of the Arsenal. We sell donated household goods and garden tools and accessories at bargain prices.
 
We need volunteers on Thursday 10-12, 12-2, 2-4, and 4-6 pm to accept donations and start unpacking and arranging donations. We need a LOT of volunteers for more set-up on Friday 9-11 and 11-1 (sales start at 12 noon). We need volunteers for sales Friday 1-3 and 3-5 pm and Saturday 9-11, 11-1, and 1-3. We need a LOT of volunteers 3-5 pm for boxing up donations and taking them out to cars for donation elsewhere.
 
Donated Plants is where we sell donated garden plants and houseplants at bargain prices. No gardening knowledge is needed, because experienced volunteers will be nearby. This is a great way to learn about plants that thrive in this area and to help beginning gardeners on a budget. Donated Plants will be along the Market Street sidewalk near the Sheriff's House.
 
We need a LOT of volunteers to set up on Friday 9-11 and 11-1 (sales start at 12 noon), because many donated plants must be labeled. We also need volunteers for sales on Friday 1-3 and 3-5 pm and on Saturday 9-11, 11-1 and 1-3. We also need volunteers for breakdown and packing up at 3 pm on Saturday. 
 
Herbs: We sell dozens of varieties of herbs and attract customers who know they'll find unusual herbs here. No herb knowledge is needed, because all the plants are clearly labeled and experienced volunteers will also be present. This is a great way to learn more about herbs. Herbs are sold on Market Square behind Town Hall.
 
We need volunteers to unload the herbs and set up on Friday 7-9 (maybe starting a little later, depending on when the herbs are delivered), 9-11 and 11-1 (sales start at 12 noon). We need volunteers for sales on Friday 1-3 and 3-5 pm and Saturday 9-11, 11-1 and 1-3. We also need volunteers at 3 pm on Saturday for breakdown and packing up.
 
Plants: We sell dozens of varieties of annuals, perennials, and houseplants, mostly flowering plants. Because we can't compete with "big box" garden center prices, we specialize in eye-catching varieties people aren't likely to find elsewhere. No plant or garden expertise is needed, because all the plants are clearly labeled and experienced volunteers will also be present. In fact, this is a great way to learn more about a wide range of plants.
 
Plants are sold on Market Square behind Town Hall. We need volunteers to unload plants, set up, and put price stickers on plants on Friday 7-9, 9-11, and 11-1 (sales start at 12 noon). We need volunteers to sell plants on Friday 1-3 and 3-5 pm and Saturday 9-11, 11-1, and 1-3. We also need volunteers for breakdown and packing up at 3 pm Saturday.
