Get Involved with Holmes Run Community Garden

You don’t need a garden plot to be part of our community. Holmes Run Community Garden is a shared space for learning, connecting, and growing together, and there are many ways for neighbors and local supporters to get involved.

Whether you’re looking to lend a hand, meet neighbors, or simply spend time in a green space, there’s a place for you here.

Volunteer

Volunteering is one of the best ways to get involved in the garden and make a meaningful impact, no plot required. Whether you have a little time or a lot, your help supports a shared space that benefits the entire community. No gardening experience is needed. Just bring your willingness to help and spend time outdoors.

Events

Our garden is more than a place to grow plants. It’s a place to connect. Throughout the season, we host a variety of events that bring neighbors together, share knowledge, and celebrate the garden.

Events are open to the community, and everyone is welcome. Whether you’re looking to learn something new, meet neighbors, or simply spend time outdoors, there’s something for you here.

Donations

Holmes Run Community Garden is powered by community support. Donations help us maintain shared spaces, improve the garden, and expand opportunities for education and connection.

Every donation, big or small, makes a meaningful impact. Whether you’re a neighbor, local business, or garden supporter, your generosity helps keep this space thriving for everyone.

Education Programs

Holmes Run Community Garden is a place to learn as much as it is to grow. Our education programs are designed to share knowledge, build skills, and make gardening and sustainability accessible to everyone in the community.

Whether you’re brand new to gardening or looking to expand your skills, our programs are open, approachable, and rooted in real-life experience.

We believe learning grows best when it’s shared
