We envision a garden network for Los Angeles where people of all ages and backgrounds live healthy, active lives in a clean environment by growing fresh food.
This network fosters the meeting of people from diverse backgrounds to share experience and knowledge, promote urban agriculture and economic justice, provide leadership and job training, and grow more beautiful and sustainable communities.
Volunteering takes place ALL OVER the Los Angeles region!
Thank you for your interest in volunteering in a Community Garden! Below are details of some regular times you can volunteer as well as occasional workdays. We recommend that you email the contact person ahead of time in case there are any last-minute changes. No previous gardening experience is necessary. Please come prepared in work clothes, with covered shoes, a hat, sunscreen, drinking water, and gardening gloves (if you have these). We’ll require you to sign a liability waiver when you arrive. We look forward to meeting you!
