About the application

Community Garden Workdays are scheduled throughout the year to care for the common areas of the Grow & Learn Garden at First Presbyterian Church, managed by Grow Oak Ridge. Volunteers who work 10 hours you will be considered a Seedling Level "Friend of Grow Oak Ridge." This entitles you to several perks throughout the year. Gardeners who rent a summer space in the garden MUST volunteer at least 7 of 10 organized workdays. These are for general maintenance of the common spaces of the garden, and not just your own space. Service hours for school, work or the Anderson County Master Gardener program are offered during these work days. Tell the manager on duty if you need proof of volunteering.
