Volunteer at the Garden

As a Community Garden, many hands help keep this space growing! We deeply appreciate each and every minute of volunteer time dedicated to TSCG. We welcome all ages and abilities to volunteer at the Garden – no gardening experience is necessary, TSCG is a great place to learn. But we are always looking for Master Gardeners, weeding warriors, and folks with construction and repair skills. Whether you are a plotholder fulfilling your volunteer commitment, a community member interested in getting involved, or an organization looking for a group opportunity, we invite you to volunteer at TSCG!

Thank you for all you do to make the Tom Settlemire Community Garden a wonderful place to grow!
