City of Grand Prairie- Volunteer Services

The Keep Grand Prairie Beautiful Community Garden program offers Grand Prairie residents and employees an opportunity to grow their own vegetables and develop their gardening skills. Seasonal Garden Gatherings are a great time to meet your fellow Community Gardeners! These gatherings focus on a variety of topics to help your garden thrive.

Compost is very import to the Community Garden program as it provides necessary nutrients for your plants to grow. Compost 101 is offered four times per year so that you can learn the basics of creating your own 'black gold.' The Master Composter class is held twice per year, once in the spring and once in the fall.

Opportunities are also available for volunteers who do not wish to be assigned a bed but would rather assist an entire garden with making compost or preparing beds.
