Opportunity Details

Seasonal Garden Prep (Saturday)


Community is an important part of the BELL Garden!  Join us as we prepare the garden for the current growing season. The garden serves as teaching and learning lab for volunteers, students of Bellevue Middle Prep, and our community!

Volunteers will be focusing on outdoor activities at this time. Rain protection is suggested if rain is in the forecast. 
 
The garden runs on volunteer power, no experience is necessary. Feel free to come just to learn more about gardening or share your experience.
 
Children under 12! If a parent or group will have children under the age of 12, please contact the opportunity leader below and let us know the ages in advance so we can plan activities that age group will enjoy. Children accompanying parents do not need to sign up for a spot.
 
Youth! If a group leader is signing up a group of youth under age 18, please contact the opportunity leader below before signing up. Thank you!
 
As a volunteer, you will help:

  • Sow and harvest plants as needed

To prepare for volunteering:

  • Please wear closed toed shoes/boots and clothes you don't mind getting dirty.

About the BELL Garden:
The garden serves as a learning space for students, volunteers, and the community to grow food; learn about healthy eating choices; and gain an understanding of food access in our community. Volunteers can take the harvest home.
