Join us at the Good Ground Heritage Garden at 81 Lynn Ave, Hampton Bays, NY on Sunday, May 2nd, 2021 from 1 to 3 PM for a Garden Volunteer Orientation. Get your hands dirty and spend time connecting with your local community while learning how to plant, cultivate, and harvest organic vegetables.
Garden Volunteers usually meet on Sundays and Tuesdays, 10 am - 1 pm. After an orientation, volunteers may also come by to do tasks on other days and times, as needed.
Food grown at the Good Ground Heritage Garden is donated to local food pantries in Hampton Bays, while a small portion is used in our Organic Farm-to-Table Organic Dinners.
We are looking for enthusiastic and energetic individuals interested in learning permaculture techniques and small-scale, bio-intensive, organic farming practice. Work will mostly be outdoors in the sun and sometimes in the rain. Work includes some heavy lifting and digging. Volunteers must not be allergic to bee stings. Duties will include: soil, compost, and garden bed preparation; planting; weeding; watering; and harvesting of vegetables and herbs. Coordinate drop-off of produce harvest to local food pantries. Assist in beehive inspections and management.
Let us know you are "Interested" or "Going" on our Facebook event page, and please invite/share with your friends!
