Opportunity Details
Garden Build at the Library
The mission of Renew Richmond is to empower individuals across all walks of life to cultivate healthier lifestyles through the growth of food, nutrition instruction and agricultural education. This will be achieved through production and sale of organically grown produce and implementation of holistic urban agriculture instructional programs and curriculum-based activities. This is a special project at a local library in the Warwick area. Volunteers will be doing various garden tasks like watering, planting, weeding, harvesting, composting, and building structures. It is Renew Richmond’s plan that projects like these will become models for progressive urban sustainability efforts in the City of Richmond and provide fresh, healthy, locally grown fruit, vegetables and flowers to those individuals who have little to no access. Wear clothing appropriate for gardening and brush, which may include long pants, closed toe shoes, bringing garden gloves and water (and any garden tools you don't mind lending for the day), and wearing a hat, bug spray, and sunscreen.All volunteers who plan to attend must be registered, either as an individual, or via the team functionality. This includes youth. To learn more about our Team Functionality, please view our Volunteer with a Group page.
If allowed on the project, any youth volunteers under the age of 18 must bring a parent-signed youth waiver to the project. The waiver can be found after sign up on the confirmation page or by visiting our Volunteer with Youth page.
Registration for this project will close 12 hours in advance.
