There's a Place for You in the Garden

Want to grow your own vegetables, herbs or flowers? Garden spaces will give community members an opportunity to grow food while learning, sharing and connecting with others.

You don't need to be an expert. Whether you're an experienced gardener or have never planted a seed before, there will be opportunities to learn and grow. 

There’s always something to do in a garden, and many hands make light work.

Help with planting, watering, weeding, building, maintenance, events and other garden projects. We’ll also need volunteers to help welcome gardeners, share their knowledge and keep the garden growing throughout the season.

Bring your skills, your curiosity or simply a willingness to get your hands dirty.

Want to be more involved? Join the people helping guide the future of the Perham Community Garden.

Committee members can lend their ideas, experience and perspective to areas such as programming, education, accessibility, fundraising, volunteerism and garden operations.

You don't have to know everything about gardening. We need people with all kinds of interests, skills and ideas. Contact us to join a committee. 

A thriving community garden takes more than seeds and sunshine. Your support can help us create and maintain a space that is welcoming, accessible and useful to the whole community.
