Dakota County, MN

The Community Learning Garden program offers a meaningful, hands-on opportunity for individuals and groups to support local food access, environmental stewardships and community education. Volunteers work alongside Dakota County Parks staff and fellow community members to grow organic produce and work in maintaining a welcoming, healthy gardening space for learning and connection. Produce that is harvested is donated to The Open Door Food Pantry in Eagan.

Volunteer opportunities are designed to fit a variety of schedules and interests, ranging from single day events to ongoing seasonal commitments. See the list below to view open opportunities for the gardening season.
