GreenThumb community gardens are developed, led, and cared for by dedicated volunteer gardeners who critically upkeep them as public green spaces. Clara's Garden is a quiet green oasis in East New York that is seeking volunteers to help build new garden beds and plant natives! Join us for a hands-on volunteer day! No prior experience necessary - beginners are welcome! Come learn about the community gardens in the neighborhood. GreenThumb will provide supplies and facilitation. This is a great opportunity to support a dynamic community space while learning about urban agriculture. Please wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and bring water and snacks. Note: Some tasks may involve lifting heavy materials and extended periods of bending, squatting, and moving. Register here! Location: 579 Glenmore Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11207For information about group volunteering, please contact Volunteer Program Coordinator, Olivia Navarro at Olivia.
