Grow Food With Us
Anyone Can Volunteer and Learn!
Our Open Garden Times are done for the season! Check in with us in the spring o get involved.
Come once or garden with us all season! All ages are welcome.
​
Everyone is welcome to attend our Open Garden Times. Learn to grow food, give your time, and share in the harvest. No garden experience is necessary as we will have experienced volunteers helping to direct activity.
In the case of bad weather, garden volunteer time will be canceled. Please check our Facebook page for cancelations or call 319-626-2711.
​
Activities will vary depending on the day, but will include activities such as planting, weeding, watering, and harvesting, organic pest control, and composting. Please bring a water bottle and wear gardening clothes you can get dirty–we have all the other tools and equipment.
