Project Grow offers many volunteer opportunities through our various community gardens located around the area, the Discovery Garden, the Heirloom Garden and through various events and activities.

Our volunteers vary from local groups and businesses seeking a once-a-year community service experience to individuals seeking a long-term volunteer experience dedicated to one of our many ongoing projects.
