Support a local school garden by adopting one site for the growing season. Volunteers provide light weekly maintenance and help keep gardens healthy from May to October. No experience required.
The Adopt-a-Garden program is ideal for volunteers who enjoy gardening and want to make a meaningful, ongoing impact in their community.
Adopt-a-Garden volunteers are matched with one school garden, typically located in their neighbourhood, and help with basic garden care throughout the growing season. Volunteers work alongside the school’s summer care team, meaning they are not the sole individuals responsible for garden maintenance.
We Grow Food will help set up communication between volunteers and schools to support collaboration and ensure everyone is aligned throughout the season.
Students seeking volunteer hours are encouraged to volunteer at their own school through their school’s garden lead. In special cases, students may contact the Volunteer Coordinator at wgfcoordinator@gmail.com to inquire about additional opportunities.
