Garden Shed Organization & Planter Building at Leave It Better Community Garden
Join Leave It Better Community Garden and NYC Parks Green Thumb for a hands‑on workday to reorganize the garden’s tool shed, build simple metal raised beds, and carry out other seasonal activities. Leave It Better Community Garden was organized in 2010 to engage and educate local youth and families in environmental stewardship and cultural preservation. This group of volunteer gardeners is seeking more volunteers who are interested in becoming members and helping with general maintenance, upkeeping open hours, and hosting public events.
No prior experience necessary. Spanish‑speaking skills are a plus!
Please wear sturdy work shoes and warm clothing and bring water and snacks.
Note:
Some tasks may involve lifting heavy materials and extended periods of bending, squatting, and moving.
In case of inclement weather, the event will be rescheduled to Sunday, January 18, 2026 at 11 A.M. – 3 P.M. Registered volunteers will be notified 1‑2 days before the scheduled event.
For information about group volunteering, please contact the Green Thumb Volunteer Program unteer.gov.
