Final Party
Plan a final party potluck for Week 10 at your garden, farm, or orchard.
1. Invite the grower and all the neighbors who participated in the Farmhand Friends activity.
2. Have everyone bring something to share. Use the Volunteer Roles sheet to organize it.
3. Ask each person to say their name and share one thing they learned during the activity.
4. Thank your neighbors for joining to help tend the land, and share the final tally from your Progress Tracker.
5. Offer a small token of appreciation, such as a seedling in a small pot (try tomato or basil; they’re easy to sprout and can thrive on a kitchen windowsill).
6. Let your neighbors know that they’re invited the next time you do another Earthcare Activity.
