The 7th Street Garden

Volunteer Programs 

Individual Volunteers:

Volunteer opportunities range depending on the time of year and the gardens' needs and may include seeding, transplanting, building, watering, weeding, pruning and harvesting.  Individuals interested in volunteering may come to the garden any Saturday that we are open, at promptly 10am, for a brief orientation.  Once attending an orientation, volunteers are welcome to come by any time during the hours we are open.  No experience necessary.

Volunteer Groups:

If you would like to arrange for a group to volunteer with the 7th Street Garden, we recommend you contact us at least two weeks in advance. We typically host volunteer groups for one to two hours and activites vary depending on the time of year, age/number/ experience of participants and specific focus of the group.  Activities can include but aren't limited to: planting, mulching, painting, building, labor and weeding.  Email us the requested details listed below, and we will do our best to accomodate you.
