What To Expect When Volunteering
What Will we do and for how long?
Depending on the season and weather, we might work together to sow seeds, plant seedlings, weed garden beds, or harvest vegetables for donation. Prepare to work outside for two to three hours.
Who Can Volunteer?
We welcome volunteers of ages 12 and up. No previous gardening experience necessary!
What To Bring?
Dress in layers appropriate for the temperature and insects. You may spend time on uneven ground around garden tools, so protect your feet in sturdy, closed-toed shoes. We also recommend packing a full water bottle, a hat, insect repellent, and sunscreen.
Do I need to bring Supplies?
Do I Need To Do Anything Before The Event?
All volunteers must complete a waiver before participating in an event. If this will be your first event with Trellis this calendar year, please complete a waiver online or plan to complete one in-person before the event begins.
Will There Be A Restroom On-Site?
Many of our events are at Lundale Farm, which has a portable toilet on-site. For events at other locations, Trellis will share more information about restroom access prior to the event.
What if the weather doesn’t cooperate?
Are the gardens accessible?
