Lend a Hand, Meet a Neighbor, Grow Some Good
At Good Neighbor Gardens, we turn soil into something special—fresh food, real connections, and a whole lot of shared joy. We're a grassroots urban sharecrop program powered by people who care about community and aren’t afraid to get a little dirt under their nails. Whether you're planting, harvesting, distributing food, or just showing up with a smile, there's a spot for you in the garden. No green thumb required—just a good heart and a little time to give.

Please fill out the form below to express your interest, and we will reach out to you to set up your volunteer shift. Want to make a habit of it? We can arrange for you to take on recurring volunteer duties. Just let us know!
