Come Volunteer With Us!

When can I volunteer at the main garden?
Volunteer anytime during our open hours at our Welcome Center on 3701 Prast Boulevard! Right now that's 9am-7pm Monday through Friday and 9am to 5pm on weekends!

When can I volunteer at the satellite gardens?
Satellite gardens often would love the help! If you have a garden you'd like to help, especially one in your own neighborhood, contact the garden leader to see when and what they're working on. Contact information can be found in the satellite garden pages or on our directory.
What can you expect? 
Working in the garden is a day-by-day, season-by-season activity. Depending on the season, the weather, and Mother Nature's plans, our tasks range from starting seeds in pots, weeding in the garden, mulching paths, painting signs, and everything in bet
ween. In the winter, we'll have some work outside on nice days, but mostly spend time sorting seeds and various other indoor activities.  Whatever the activity, we will have FUN working together!

How to prepare? 
Get ready to play in the dirt! Wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty, closed-toes shoes, and any sun/bug protection you may need. Also, bring a water bottle to stay hydrated.  We supply gardening gloves and all of the tools and equipment.

Need more info? Join the Volunteer GroupMe!
We use GroupMe, a free chat app, to communicate with volunteers about our volunteer times, including weather changes and updates and calls for volunteers, both at our main site and satellite sites.
