CCGC Queen Bee

From Place Based Grass Roots Groups Political Action Web

The Carrboro Community Gardening Coalition's Queenbee, also known as workday coordinator, is responsible for being the first person at the garden on Saturday, greeting newcomers, and coordinating all workday activities. Also works together with waterer and garden volunteers to set a plan for the week. Open to anyone who is interested and has the energy to do this. Queenbee should not be put off by an idea of not being qualified; a main role of the queenbee is to facilitate knowledges that garden participants bring to the garden.

The rotating Queenbee role assures that the garden is run and controlled by all the gardeners. This role encourages the sense of ownership of the garden by all of the gardeners.

Queenbee role rotates on a bi-monthly basis.
