Garden Vision
The Black Mountain Community Garden Seeks To:
Provide Space where families in our valley can grow vegetables for their own use.
Donate fresh vegetables to families in need.
Educate children and adults in the life-long skill of growing vegetables.
Create Community based around gardening and the valuable lesson of sharing with others.
Volunteering in the Garden
Regular Summer Workdays
>Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays: 9:00am - Noon
If these times don't work for you but you'd like to be a regular garden volunteer, contact us to setup another time. Tasks vary week to week, but generally you can expect to help with planting, weeding, harvesting and general garden maintenance. In exchange, take home fresh veggies for your own table!
