Do you love gardening? Explore Ecology’s School Gardens Program is looking for volunteers who have green thumbs, enjoy being outdoors, and like educating kids about growing organic food.
We offer volunteer work days throughout the year at school gardens in Santa Barbara County. We also need volunteers to adopt a school garden in the summer to make sure that our gardens continue to grow when school is out.
Explore Ecology’s School Gardens Program connects children to nature and teaches them how to grow their own organic food. Using the garden as an outdoor classroom, the School Gardens Program serves over 10,000 students per year at 36 local public elementary schools in seven school districts throughout Santa Barbara County.
