Greenhouse Opportunities
We are busy preparing for the outdoor growing season and our spring plant sale. This is a wonderful time to join us in the greenhouse to plant, transplant and tend to the many plants. Volunteer support will help increase the plant sale fundraising efforts.
Garden Volunteer Process
Gardens are essential to providing healthy locally grown food. Now more than ever we need to ensure our school gardens are a source of fresh produce for our community.
To ensure our gardens are cared for regularly and properly we provide a volunteer orientation to each volunteer before garden work begins. Please fill out the Volunteer Interest Survey by clicking the button below. This will help us to know what type of volunteer work you are looking for and so that we can be sure to get you all of the volunteer communication.
All garden volunteers are asked to complete a garden orientation before doing any garden work. If you need schedule an orientation please contact our operations manager, Sam Petersen, sam@growlacrosse.org. After work in the garden please, fill out our Garden Volunteer Report to help us track the work being done in the gardens, who has been volunteering and how much produce we have been able to harvest.
Community Work Days
We will be hosting community work days at each of the school gardens throughout the growing season. Volunteers can help at any garden. Some of the garden work days have been adopted by work teams from local businesses and colleges.
Reach out to info@GROWLaCrosse.org if you have a group that would like to adopt a community work day.

*You do need a cleared background check to volunteer during garden lessons. To ensure you are cleared to volunteer at a school garden you must have a complete background check through the school district. Each district has it's own process of doing a background check.
