Community Garden Program: Volunteer Information

 

Are you an experienced gardener?  We welcome your gardening skills/tips and plant identification knowledge.

 

Unfamiliar with gardening?  We can still use the help and teach you along the way!

 

Volunteering at a community garden is a great way to serve your

community, learn new skills and reap the benefits of the great outdoors!    

Gardens are difficult to maintain with so few people. The more hands we have to help, the more food we can grow and share!
