The dedication of over 100 one time or ongoing volunteers keeps our garden running smoothly! We have opportunities to volunteer for anyone who is interested and willing to share your time, talents or strengths. Some of our past volunteers have included: college students, social service agencies, local businesses and restaurants, church groups, clubs, retired community members, Girl and Boy Scouts, Master Gardeners, and local farmers... the list goes on!
