We need a personable assistant to help our Garden Manager in hosting adult garden and sustainable living classes. These classes form a significant part of Common Ground Garden's income and assist us with running our other programs (youth education, volunteering, events, demo garden maintenance).

It would be helpful if you have:

  • some open Saturdays to help host classes,
  • a desire to attend (for free!) these classes,
  • a willingness to help setup and engage with participants at our welcome table

We will show you what to do before the first class that you help out with. In return for your help, we would like to offer you free tickets to all classes that you help our Garden Manager with. And we want to be flexible to your needs.

If you have questions, please reach out to us, and we hope to work with you!

Here is a list of upcoming classes/dates: http://commongroundgarden.org/?page_id=299

For each class you intend to help us to host, we would ask that you:

  • Communicate your intent to help us out with a given class at least 48 hrs before the class date
  • Receive confirmation from us that we have you booked to help out (sometimes we may already have another volunteer booked)
  • arrive 30min beforehand and help us to set up for the class
  • Help attendees to sign in for the class
  • Stick around at the welcome table for 15 minutes after the published class start time to sign in any stragglers while CGG staff gets the class started.
  • Optionally, stick around to enjoy the class, or leave at your leisure.

About Common Ground Garden

Location:

687 Arastradero Road, Palo Alto, CA 94306, US

Mission Statement

Common Ground Garden transforms our students’ relationships to food by inspiring them to eat mindfully, to make healthy and sustainable food choices, and ultimately to grow their own food through biologically-intensive, sustainable gardening practices.

Description

Our community garden is a place of hands-on learning for all ages.

Common Ground Garden offers free classes with a unique approach to sustainable living: growing soil to grow food and community. This means we start with making nutritious soil (without depleting other sources), which inevitably leads to healthy plants and healthy people. By empowering people to then teach others in their community, this becomes a powerful cycle that perpetuates itself.
