Join Us This Summer! Help keep our UHE school garden thriving during the summer break. Whether you are a total beginner or a seasoned pro, we’d love to have you join our community of growers.
What You’ll Do:
Targeted Watering: Because our garden is so large, volunteers are asked to water a specific section rather than the whole space in one go.
Garden Care: Assist with weeding and harvesting a variety of fresh vegetables.
Autumn Prep: Help us start seeds for fall crops like broccoli, cabbage, kale, onions, and leafy greens.
Our Garden Space: Our diverse growing area includes metal raised beds, large round planter pots, and in-ground garden beds, providing a variety of ways to learn about gardening.
Volunteer Benefits:
Harvest the Rewards: Take home the fresh, organic produce you help grow!
Please remember: Bring your own shopping bags to transport your harvest home.
Location: Find us at the back of the gravel sports field at the UHE School.
How to Get Started: All volunteers must attend a 1-hour orientation.
Participants can choose to attend either the session on June 12th (17:00 – 18:00) or the one on June 13th (10:00 – 11:00).
To Sign Up: Please send an email to [email protected] to schedule your orientation session.

Little Hands, Big Impact!
At Learning Tree, children donned their muddy buddies to wake up the garden, pulling out old crops, turning the soil, and getting up close with earthworms, snails, and other soil superheroes!

Spring is FINALLY here! Time to get our hand dirty and amend the garden soil for a successful season. We're trying out Black Garden Soil from this time. Has anyone else used it? Drop your thoughts below!
