How volunteer burnout threatens community projects

Our community garden project started with so much enthusiasm but now it's mostly the same three people doing all the work while everyone else shows up for harvest time. We're tired and resentful but don't know how to address it without sounding like we're gatekeeping.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
