We are the Community Gardens of Tucson and we’d like to let you know about our volunteer opportunities for those in the community of Tucson. Every Saturday morning we host a garden work party at one of our 17 garden locations across town. These are a great way to connect with your community as well as help us maintain our gardens. Come out and help with weeding, spreading mulch, building raised beds, and so much more, all while making connections and meeting new people! We also have kids gardening courses that we would love volunteered help. We also have tabling events that occur during various parts of the year that we have open for volunteers to attend and help with as well as the opportunity to join a committee board if a volunteer would be interested in getting more involved with the Community Gardens of Tucson. There are opportunities for everyone at CGT!

We gather hundreds of people for weekly social walks, facilitate bicycle and nutrition programs in schools, and invite all ages and abilities out into nature.
