Volunteer Event: Tricycle Gardens Urban FARM

When:  Mar 21, 2020 from 10:00 AM to 01:00 PM (ET)
Associated with  Gamma Omega at-Large Chapter
​ Tricycle is Richmond’s leading urban agriculture nonprofit organization, and they are on a mission to grow a healthy future through urban agriculture. Since breaking ground on their first garden, they have engaged thousands of neighbors and shown that the simple act of growing food is an incredibly powerful way to impact the overall health of our community. Each month they invite volunteers to participate in a variety of farm tasks including compost management, pruning, weeding, transplanting seedlings, cleaning up the farm, and mulching. The produce grown at this one-acre urban farm goes directly back into communities with limited access to healthy food choices through programs like the Corner Farm--RVA's Healthy Corner Store Initiative and our Four Season Farm Stands. Together we will work to grow healthy food and healthy communities! There is a port a potty on site. There is no portable water on site – volunteers will need to bring a water bottle with them to the project. The entire workday is outdoors so bring sunscreen, hats, snacks, etc, and wear protective clothing and closed toe shoes you don't mind getting dirty. Please dress according to the weather. This is a family-friendly opportunity!

Space may be limited.
