Hands On Nashville

Are you passionate about the environment, education, and the arts? Do you love
working outside and getting your hands a little dirty? Are you a gardener or woodworker looking to help your community?
 
Help us establish a community garden and outdoor learning space in Wedgewood-Houston!

Activities will include: 

• Building and maintenance of garden beds made from reuse materials
• Building and maintenance of pollinator hotels made from reuse materials
• Building and maintenance of a rainwater harvesting system 
• Building and maintenance of a compost demonstration site

 
These projects will require the use of power tools. Feel free to bring your own cordless drill if you have one!

Bring your work gloves, a water bottle, and clothes you don't mind getting dirty - and prepare to spend the day outside!

In accordance with Mayor John Cooper’s Roadmap for Reopening Nashville:       

• Hands On Nashville recommends that unvaccinated individuals in the following groups avoid volunteering for in-person opportunities (due to elevated risk level): ages 65 and up, those with health conditions or compromised immune systems, anyone who is feeling unwell (or who has been exposed to/is caring for someone who is sick or has a compromised immune system).        
• Volunteers who attend projects should take recommended precautions, including maintaining distances between themselves and other people; practicing hand-washing and sanitation of spaces; wearing gloves, masks, and other protective gear; etc. As always, consult a medical professional should you begin to feel unwell at any point during or after a project.        

       
If you decide not to attend a project, please log in to hon.org and remove yourself from the opportunity ahead of time so that another volunteer may have a chance to fill your slot. If you have any trouble with this, email hon@hon.org and we’ll be happy to help!        
       
Please be aware that projects may be canceled or rescheduled with short notice. Projects are subject to change depending on shifting guidelines and circumstances. We appreciate your understanding.
