Volunteer Opportunities
WHAT’S YOUR SUPER-POWER?
NB Community Harvest Gardens is proud to be a community-driven non-profit. Our two beautiful community gardens, our gardening workshops, our Hayes Farm project – even this website are all a result of dedicated members who have found their place in our organization as community contributors.
We firmly believe that there is a place in our organization for everyone to be a community contributor. Our goal for 2021 is to help each of our members find their own unique way to shine in the stewardship of NBCHG – regardess of any mobility, time, social, financial or other challenges. The opportunities are limitless – all ideas are welcome – here’s a list of the ones we’ve already identified:

Garden Mentor: guide and support new gardeners in the planting & maintenance of their plot
Compost: help maintain garden waste/compost pile
Work Bees: participate in scheduled general maintenance events
Community Plots: help maintain the flower bed or community vegetable plots

“WOW, THAT’S A SUPER-POWER?”
Do you like to greet people? Why not staff a Workshop Registration table – smile and collect non-member entrance fees or get folks to sign-up
Do you like to talk about NBCHG to others? Why not staff an Event Information table – chat with the general public about all the great things NBCHG has to offer (April – Spring Into Wellness Seniors event, May – Fredericton Botanic Garden Association plant sale, September – Open House Day at Greener Village)
Do you like to cook? We’d love it if you brought snacks and made sure participants are well-watered during a workbee. Or maybe you’d consider hosting a preserving workshop for us?
Are you musical? Why not serenade us during a workbee?
Are you artistic? We’re always looking for talented folks to make artwork/educational signage for our gardens.
Do you enjoy easy repetitive tasks you can do at home? We always need folks to pack seeds for our Seed Library.
Are you a good networker? Help us actively engage local organizations, schools, businesses and other interested folk in our programming.
