The success of our gardens is dependent on the commitment of our garden volunteers. Our volunteers vary in age, sex, race, culture and socio-economic  background. They include high school and university students, retirees, garden club members, Penn State Master Gardeners and community gardeners who want to help others get started. More than 120 volunteers currently work with our program.
