Community Garden Volunteer Days

Help Dearborn Support, the Planet Blue Ambassadors, and partnering orgs grow fresh fruits and veggies for the Student Food Pantry! We will have sweet peppers, hot peppers, green beans, kale, and tomatoes, and plan to grow so much more. No prior gardening experience is required, and snacks and equipment are provided. 

 

During the summer, we will be holding Collective Volunteer Days from 10am-12pm on Mondays on the first and third weeks of the month, and from 10am-12pm on Thursdays on the second and fourth weeks of the month. If you have some extra downtime this summer, attending one or more of these sessions is an excellent opportunity to meet new people, learn more about gardening, destress, and deepen your connection with nature. 

 

Location: Meet at Plots #12 & #5 at the UM-D Community Organic Garden [See map here]
