Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Come to a work day on the third Saturday of the month, and email chester.ave.garden@gmail.com to ask about joining..

What to expect

A work day runs about three hours in the morning. Teams work on shared tasks such as compost, herbs, mowing, shoveling and pest care, and the site asks gardeners to help with tasks that serve the whole garden.

Tips for your first visit

  • Check the site's 2026 work day list for the coordinator who leads that month.
  • On very hot days the work day starts at 8 am and ends at 11 am.
  • Hours are logged in a shared Google Sheet linked from the volunteer hours page.

Newcomer welcome

Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: Work days are posted with set times, but the site only invites gardeners to come help. It does not say whether non-gardeners can join a work day or how to become a gardener..
