Opportunity Details
Gardening at ReVision Urban Farm
ReVision Urban Farm in Dorchester is an innovative community-based urban agriculture project that grows produce in its own fields and provides access to affordable, nutritious and culturally appropriate food to residents of the ReVision Family Home and the extended community. Volunteers will help with a number of gardening-related tasks depending on the season. In early spring, volunteers will work in a greenhouse, spread compost, and prepare beds for planting. In the late spring and into summer, volunteers help transplant seedlings and harvest as needed. This is a great opportunity to take part in sustainable agriculture, affordable food accessibility, and local wildlife! You can read more about ReVision Farm and it's mission at https://www.vpi.org/revision/. Bring work gloves, water bottles, sunscreen, and rain gear (depending on weather). All the tools you need to work in the field will be provided. Long pants and shirt are recommended for farm work. Close-toed shoes are required because you may be working with sharp tools. Waterproof shoes are highly recommended as well. If gloves are desired, we recommend bringing your own (limited extras are available on-site).
