About

VOLUNTEERING PAUSED FOR WINTER.

Primary needs in the Urban Home Garden are weeding and planting, maintaining and harvesting annual vegetables. Occasionally, we'll work on a special project, like a new bed or pruning fruit trees, and sometimes additional help is needed in the chicken coop. Work will vary based on the volunteers' skill set and interests. Volunteering in the Urban Home Garden will be an educational experience!
