| | While anyone is welcome to harvest fresh produce for free from the blue painted shared beds at St. Michael's and Methodist Community Gardens, Garden Club members play a bigger role -- helping decide what gets planted, caring for the crops, and often getting the first pick of ripe produce. By joining, you'll be supporting local food access, reducing food miles, and practicing climate-friendly agriculture!
✅ Open to all experience levels and ages ✅ Tools are provided -- just bring yourself! |

| 🐛 Join the Garden Buddy Network
This is a low intensity volunteer program where you will help with watering and weeding. Usually garden buddies volunteer for 1-2 hours at a time when they are free. There are so many benefits to gardening, mentally, physically, and health wise, so don’t miss out on this opportunity to get your hands dirty and help a buddy out!
Please fill out the Google Form linked below if you're interested in joining the network! |
