The Lower Commons Community Garden provides a space for community members to garden. Help us keep the garden tidy by weeding in and around beds.
Water, snacks, gloves and tools will be provided. Please dress appropriately for work and the weather, bring a refillable water bottle and wear closed-toed shoes.
ALL volunteers are required to have a valid waiver on file. If you do not have one, you will be unable to volunteer.
CANCELLATION POLICY: Please note, that volunteer events occurring on the weekends may now require a minimum of 10-15 total sign ups and those occurring on weekdays require a minimum of 7-10. We ask that you only register for events you plan on attending. If you are unable to attend an event you are registered for please deregister from the event or email the event lead to let them know. This helps us get an accurate account of attendance. Please check your emails or your volunteer dashboard for any updates (we will send out an email blast if an event is cancelled.)
