Come Volunteer at UO's only student-led community garden. Nearly every Sunday from 2-4 pm at the Grove Community Garden (1801 Moss St - a block south of Global Scholars Hall).
Work parties are when we come together to collectively care for the space. We have 22 raised beds that are managed by the overall community to produce food (mainly vegetables) for the student food pantry, the SSC Produce Drop, and of course (and often primarily) those who come each week to volunteer. So, a typical work party may include harvesting food, weeding beds, sowing seeds / transplanting starts, chipping a wood path, etc. There is no signup ahead of time, the only prep beforehand is dressing for the weather / in clothes you don't mind some dirt/sweat on. Sign up for our newsletter for weekly reminders and updates, and follow us on Instagram too!
Feel free to email grovegarden@uoregon.edu with any questions or inquires.

Come Volunteer at UO's only student-led community garden. Nearly every Sunday from 2-4 pm at the Grove Community Garden (1801 Moss St - a block south of Global Scholars Hall).
Work parties are when we come together to collectively care for the space. We have 22 raised beds that are managed by the overall community to produce food (mainly vegetables) for the student food pantry, the SSC Produce Drop, and of course (and often primarily) those who come each week to volunteer. So, a typical work party may include harvesting food, weeding beds, sowing seeds / transplanting starts, chipping a wood path, etc. There is no signup ahead of time, the only prep beforehand is dressing for the weather / in clothes you don't mind some dirt/sweat on. Sign up for our newsletter for weekly reminders and updates, and follow us on Instagram too!
Feel free to email grovegarden@uoregon.edu with any questions or inquires.
6:30 p.m.
