Garden Volunteers

This individual must enjoy being outside in the garden and getting their hands a bit dirty. Duties vary season to season but basic garden maintenance and care are the expectations. Duties include but are not limited to: aerating, weeding, dead-heading, pruning, trimming, cleaning up around the gardens, sweeping what we disturb, watering, planting, and collaborating. 

The garden volunteer ideally understands about Calgary plants and microclimates and is enthusiastic about asking questions and offering advice. Garden volunteers are always welcome to come alone but are encouraged to volunteer with a buddy.

We recommend that you have your own gloves and bring your own basic tools, if you have them, although we do have a “Garden Bucket” complete with some basic tools from our garden shed for volunteers to use.
