From the Garden coordinator Camilla: Here is the google doc to sign up for watering the garden. Try to sign up with a buddy if you can. When you put your name down for a day of the week, you are responsible for watering that day every week! You can email or text me at cdartnell3@gatech.edu or 706-818-3975 to let me know you can't wait on your day if something comes up. Thanks! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nJLq7stR9Q8acesyW4wpLuz9WlYLgpwrmRVtATlgkHk/edit?usp=sharing
