Community Gardens of Chester County
Garden Volunteers
The success of our gardens is dependent on the energy and commitment of our garden volunteers. Our volunteers vary in age, sex, race and socio-economic background. They include students, retirees, garden club members, Master Gardeners and community gardeners who want to help others get started.
Who
The program is looking for volunteers who...
- care about our community
- enjoy gardening and plants
- have the time, energy and commitment to work with low-income families, children and/or the elderly.
When
Dates, times and hours of volunteer work are flexible, although most of our work takes place during spring, summer and fall. All of our projects are well-organized because we know that your time as a volunteer is valuable.
What
Some volunteers work with us on a regular basis and others volunteer for an occasional or specific project. Jobs include “hands-on gardening” such as building beds, fences and gates as well as planting and maintaining the gardens. (All of this work is done with the community gardeners.) Other volunteer tasks may include helping design gardens, sorting seeds, office work or serving on our advisory committee. The program provides all of the tools and garden equipment needed for each project.
