Gleaners Detroit Food Zoo is located across the street from our main warehouse in Detroit. This garden offers opportunities for self-guided learning, group learning as well as garden volunteer experiences targeted to youth and our partner agencies.This garden demonstrates ways in which food pantries can start their own vegetable gardens and connects them to resources in order for them or their clients to get started for free or at low cost.
We are looking for volunteers to assist with planting, weeding and maintaining the garden on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9am-Noon. We are looking for volunteers aged 15 and up. Volunteers under 18 need to volunteer with a parent or guardian.
