Help your community by volunteering at one of the various community gardens! Local gardens help the community by donating their fruits and vegetables to local organizations. These gardens do some great work and are enthusiastic about high schoolers who want to give a helping hand. Help out at a garden for community service credit or simply for the joy of gardening!
What is a community garden?
Community gardens are large gardens for people to help plant and grow various plants. Some grow native plants to fruits and vegetables. Others, have small plots of land for people to sign up and plant in their very own section. Some gardens even donate their organically, locally grown fruits and vegetables to a local food bank! Many garden organizations want to help promote healthy eating and teach environmentally friendly techniques on gardening.
Why volunteer?
All of these gardens do some great things for the community! Some teach the public about gardening, while others donate their home grown fruits and vegetables to food banks around the area. Meet new people and do the thing you love most or try something new! It's easy and you get community service credit with a verification form (contact your garden supervisor for verification). Many gardens need your help and would gladly accept it. It's perfect for garden aficionados.
