Host a Garden
Hosting a We Grow Food garden offers schools and community organizations more than just a growing space, it includes educational and planting events throughout the growing season. These hands-on sessions support students, staff, and community members in learning how to plant, care for, and harvest food, while fostering connection, food literacy, and long-term garden success.
Volunteer
Volunteering with We Grow Food means taking part in hands-on events throughout the growing season. Volunteers can join planting days, teaching sessions, community events, and volunteer training opportunities that build skills and confidence. Whether you’re new to gardening or looking to get more involved, our events offer a welcoming way to learn, contribute, and connect.
