Hi there,

Thank you for stopping by to check out the Farms to Grow, Inc Urban Garden Project volunteer opportunity.

Are you available to volunteer on Sundays in Oakland? We would love for you to assist in growing food for the bay area. You will be learning from a friendly, warm, and welcoming Master Gardener. No experience that's ok, just show up ready to learn and play in the dirt.

Learn about the benefits of cover crops, the difference between planting a seed and planting a transplant, see how to set up irrigation lines and so much more.

The Urban Garden Project takes place every Sundays from 8:30 am -12:30 pm in Oakland.

Please complete the onboarding form below and wait until you receive an email from Farms to Grow, Inc before attending a volunteer session.

I hope to hear from you!

Cheers,

Elaine
