The South End Garden Tour is an annual event celebrating all things garden related and is the South End and Lower Roxbury community gardens' main source of support. These gardens provide a community space, food, and a place to belong for many South End and Lower Roxbury residents. Volunteering for the Tour is a great way show your love for community and urban gardens.
Starting at the Berkeley Community Garden, this year's tour is centered on gardens and green spaces in and around the Eight Streets, Union Park, Old Dover, and SOWA neighborhoods. It includes a mix of public and private spaces including private back yards, front gardens, rood deck gardens, community gardens, and neighborhood 'pocket parks.'
Volunteers are needed to serve as Garden Sitters and will be stationed in one of the gardens along the Tour. There to answer questions, give directions, and ensure visitors enjoy their experience Sitters will be provided with information about their garden as well as frequently asked questions and infomration about the rest of the Tour.
2 hour shifts are available between 10am-4pm. As a thank you for your time you will recieve a copmlimentary ticket to the Tour and post-Tour art reception.
