Each week we let our subscribers know about the upcoming week’s efforts and report on the progress and news from the previous week. Find out when and where to attend our volunteer gardening sessions.
Our volunteers attend when they can, according to their personal schedules. Every week we have a different crew, some who attend regularly and some who only occasionally attend. Most live in Downtown Long Beach, but some come from farther away just for a chance to garden and meet new people.
Our helpers range in age from 20+ to 80+. No special expertise or ability is required - we will train you in safe gardening practices. But we always appreciate the input and expertise of our more seasoned gardeners. However often you attend, you can always meet new neighbors and build your circle of friends.
Some jobs are more strenuous than others. Don’t worry, we assign and adapt the jobs to your individual abilities and desires for that particular day. Show up when you can, stay as long as you can. We can use any help you can provide.
