Respond Share Opportunity
Description
Be an everyday hero, and help us sow seeds of change and ensure our farm stays beautiful, efficient, and welcoming. From planting to harvesting, to keeping pathways clear and beds weed-free, your hands will be used to create an oasis in the middle of a food desert.
Our Urban Farm is located at 702 Fenwick St, Augusta, GA, directly across the street from The James Brown Arena.
When You Arrive
Who Can Join: We welcome volunteers aged 8 and above to join our gardening adventures. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, there's something for everyone to learn and contribute!
What to Expect: Get ready for a hands-on experience that's as rewarding as it is educational. From mulching to weeding, planting to harvesting vegetables, and even getting down and dirty with composting, there's a whole world of gardening tasks waiting for you. And yes, you might break a sweat, so dress in casual clothes that you don't mind getting a little grubby.
Strength Required: While gardening is therapeutic, it can also be quite the workout! Be prepared to flex those muscles and lift at least 50 pounds during our gardening sessions.
