Description

Whether you're new to gardening, or a green thumb, we invite you to join us as we teach our Shelter participants the valuable skill of gardening! We will teach them about:

  • The value of volunteering for organizations you care about, using skills you have or want to develop
  • What weeds look like and how to pull them
  • The magic of growing your own food

You will receive an orientation upon your arrival, and then we will invite you to sit in on our participant orientation where we will be talking about the benefit volunteering can have in their lives as they prepare for independence. Volunteers will be invited to share their favorite thing about volunteering. Then, we will all head out to the garden together and give our participants the chance for some hands-on learning in our garden.

Some mild-medium physical labor expected. Masks are encouraged, but not required for outdoor projects.
