2024 Volunteer Opportunities

We’re a volunteer-driven crew of Earth-loving, community-minded pals making Easton a bit greener and gardening more accessible. Every volunteer job matters, whether we’re packing seeds for the Seed Library, running an event, weeding, or shoveling compost. Last year, we logged 1,139+ volunteer hours! Makes sense: we have 7 gardens and a lot to do.

Weekly Thursday volunteer nights at Lower Hackett Community Garden are open-invite (May – October). Special events and cleanups will have SignUpGenius links to save a spot. You will be contacted if there are changes to those volunteer days due to inclement weather. Full list of 2024 volunteer dates will be released at the end of February. 

Questions? Issues using the sign-up links? Email gardens@eastonpartnership.org. Addresses for our garden spaces are below.

Seed Pack Volunteer Night: Wednesday, Jan. 31st. 5:00 – 7:00 PM. Easton Public Market kitchen (325 Northampton Street).

Thousands of packets for the Seed Swap?! You bet we need your help. Volunteer with us to stamp, fill, and label seed packets. Since we saved seeds, we’ll also have some fun breaking apart dried okra, floating milkweed fluff, and all the things that come along with DIY seed saving. Sign up here!

Greenhouse Volunteer Day: Sunday, February 4th. 10:00 – noon. Lower Hackett Community Garden

Calling all hearty volunteers! We need your help for a project that will help keep the greenhouse toasty and cut down on heating costs (and emissions associated). Help dig through gravel around the greenhouse walls and install insulation below. We’ll make it fun with tunes and snacks, and it should be decently warm inside. Sign up here!
