How to Get Involved

Lead

We have a flexible and open leadership team model. We invite interfaith participation and community involvement. We are expanding and trying new ideas. Come join us:

following current scientific research and recommended horticultural practices as taught by the UC Cooperative Extension Master Gardener program.
growing a wider range of plants for healthier eating and from more cultural backgrounds
connecting with the community through fun activities, workshops and projects to include all ages.

At present, we have regular and part-time members from the Davis/Winters community, and some from UC Davis.

Volunteer

Grace Garden is completely supported and built by volunteers. Volunteering not only helps us meet our mission, but as a volunteer you will be able to:

- Share your skills and knowledge.
- Learn new things.
- Get some exercise--really!
- Enjoy the outdoors.

Grace garden has volunteer opportunities for all ages, families, and all levels of knowledge about gardening. We have learned and enjoyed working together as a team. All you need is the willingness to get a bit dirty!

Come out ready to do the “project of the day” in the garden.

Work varies seasonally at Grace Garden and we have gardening jobs that require muscle and dexterity as well as easier jobs that can be done just sitting on a chair, i.e. washing and filling pots, designing flyers, or writing labels. Our major jobs are weeding, sheet mulching with cardboard as weed control, planting, harvesting, pruning, and composting. Non-gardening needs include sanding and repainting furniture, murals, signage, irrigation repair and replacement, making art décor, and cleaning/organizing. There’s a job for anyone who would like to help at Grace Garden. We are open to new ideas for expansion and improvement.
