Roll up your sleeves and get ready to join us in the Clyde Fitzgerald Teaching Garden! Our Community Garden Manager is looking for enthusiastic individuals to work alongside her as we keep our garden healthy.
Serving in our Teaching Garden gives you a unique opportunity to directly impact the lives of our neighbors. As part of this program, you will help our Community Garden Manager with maintenance, which will allow community members to learn about sustainable gardening practices and growing healthy foods at home. Much of the produce grown in this garden can be utilized by our Providence Culinary Training Program. Our Providence Culinary Training Program is a unique workforce development program designed to help our neighbors master new skills to advance their careers and help put food on the table for their families.
Tasks may include helping to weed, water, prune, plant, and harvest. Volunteers may also assist in preparing educational programs. Tasks vary during and between shifts. Work may include assembling, lifting up to 10 pounds, standing, bending, stooping, exposure to the elements, utilizing tools. No gardening experience necessary.
