We need a few folks who can drive to Backyard Flower Lab in Winnetka on Thursday mornings to pick up cut flowers and deliver them to Fleetwood-Jourdain Community Center. The flowers bring lots of joy to all kinds of farm stand visitors!
There’s some flexibility about what time but we’d like it to be the same time each week, between 9 and noon.
