Volunteer Your Time
Volunteer your Time
Volunteers who want to garden can get involved in several different ways. The EGP hosts ‘Group Gardening‘ drop in sessions every second and last Saturday of the month. Join a diverse group of gardeners in different gardens to work (and learn!) together. Group Gardening activities include spring clean-up, planting, weeding, some watering, harvesting, seed saving and fall clean-up.
If you are interested in volunteering on a more regular basis, please read the following volunteer job descriptions. When you find something that you are interested in email Emily at volunteer [at] ediblegardenproject [dot] com to find a time to chat about the position, and fill out an application form. We look forward to meeting you!
