About
Come volunteer at Festival Beach Food Forest!
What to expect:
Volunteer days at FBFF involve various gardening and site maintenance activities that vary by season. Sometimes we are planting and sowing seeds, sometimes we are spreading mulch, working on pathways and irrigation, pruning or cutting back vegetation, etc. It's always a beautiful day and a learning opportunity. Come prepared to be plugged in to a task by the FBFF Plant Team volunteers.
Where to find us:
Festival Beach Food Forest is next to the fenced Community Garden, but it’s a separate space. Look for the open parkland with no gates. We'll gather in the pecan circle (center of Phase 1) to sign in and get started!
What to bring:
- Wear work clothes and sturdy closed-toe shoes
- full water bottle
- [optional] your own gardening gloves and tools
- whatever weather protection is needed that day (sun protection, a rain jacket, etc.)
- whatever else you need to be safe and satisfied (snacks, medication, EpiPen, etc)
Plant Team Volunteers often stay after the work day to unwind and socialize in the park for a bit -- you are welcome to join, and might consider packing a lunch or a cooler (no glass).
