Garden for the Greater Good

July 1, 2020 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

We’re back in the garden for year three and they need our help more than ever! Join us Wednesday evenings in June from 5-7pm at the Faith and Grace Donation Garden. This garden produces thousands of pounds of food each year and all of it is donated to local shelters and community organizations feeding food insecure folks right here in Des Moines. The need is greater this year due to COVID, and the garden is bigger than ever to fill that need, but they need more hands on deck to help out!
Roll up your sleeves and join us for an hour or two at the garden on Wednesday evenings!
*Kid friendly
*Training on site, no gardening experience needed
*Tools provided, if you’ve got gloves you like, bring them.
*Wear weather appropriate clothes
*Closed toes shoes/work shoes preferred
*Bring a water bottle and bug repellent (if desired)
*Come for as little or much time as you can
We ask that volunteers coming to the garden be ready to sign or bring signed the waiver linked below and observe the CDC’s guidelines,including frequent handwashing, and avoiding direct physical exchanges with other gardeners. Most importantly, if you are feeling ill, have family members or friends who are ill, have been to a location where COVID-19 is prevalent, or are at-risk or immunocompromised, please refrain from volunteering in the garden.
