Get Involved!
New volunteers are always welcome to join the Garden! We have new volunteers of all ages, skills and abilities signing up every year, so don’t worry, you won’t be the only newcomer. Whether you’re green to gardening or a seasoned green thumb, there will always be something for you to do and something new to learn.
Volunteer Orientation Session 2025
The Green & Gold Community Garden is always looking for new volunteers interested in being part of a vibrant community that is passionate about growing food. We welcome folks of all ages and abilities – no gardening experience is necessary! Our Garden market raises funds for Tubahumurize, an organization that supports socioeconomically marginalized women and children in Rwanda. We also have connections with many local organizations that support our efforts to grow food using sustainable, regenerative, organic gardening methods. If you are interested in volunteering with us, we have two upcoming orientation sessions for new and returning volunteers.
Session 1: Saturday, April 12, 2025
Session 2: Saturday, April 26, 2025
