Gardeners Needed at Hospital-Based Farm

Save to Favorites

The Farm at Trinity Health Ann Arbor is one of the nations first hospital-based farms working to improve health outcomes and increase access to healthy foods. The Farm grows a variety of vegetables on the grounds of the hospital and we depend on volunteer help to plant, weed, trellis, trim, and harvest produce that is donated to patients and healthcare providers, and sold to community members at our Farm Stand inside the hospital.

Volunteer shifts are the following:

• Mondays 9am-12pm: Flower Crew - Assist with planting, bed maintenance, and harvest of flowers throughout the season.
• Tuesdays 9am-12pm: Farming Crew - Prep beds, seed, plant, weed, amend soil, harvest, wash and store produce, and more.
• Tuesdays 9am-12pm: Bouquet Making - Arrange flowers into bouquets that are donated to patients and hospital staff.
• Tuesdays 1pm-4pm: Farm Share box Packing - Assembly-line style packing that ensures all of our members receive high quality, beautiful produce.
• Thursdays 9am-12pm: Farming Crew - Prep beds, seed, plant, weed, amend soil, harvest, wash and store produce, and more.
• Saturdays 9am-12pm: Farming Crew - Prep beds, seed, plant, weed, amend soil, harvest, wash and store produce, and more.

No farming or gardening experience is required! Farm Staff walk you through each task and ensure you feel comfortable through each step. This is a great volunteer position for someone who enjoys being outside and getting their hands dirty!
