Thank you, volunteers!
Our fall volunteer opportunities have ended, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us on the farm and in the gardens this year.
We’ll be back in the spring with new ways to get involved! Please check back for updates on upcoming opportunities or subscribe to our newsletter to stay in the loop. In the meantime, feel free to explore other ways to support our work, or contact us if you have any questions.

How do I join a neighborhood garden?If you are primarily looking for a place to grow for yourself, fill out the REC Community Gardener Plot Interest Form. The REC does not own or directly manage member gardens; our staff can help connect you to the volunteer community garden coordinators at networks sites across the city. Please know that gardens in our network vary in size and structure; filling out this form does not guarantee you a plot. If a plot is not immediately available, your contact information will be added to a waitlist and you will be notified of any future plot openings. Priority for spring placement is given to those that complete this form by March 31st. Learn more about neighborhood gardens here!

Can I volunteer with the UGROW network?Yes! We post available community garden volunteer opportunites on our Volunteer page. If you want to see how you can help out at our School Gardens, email our School Gardens Coordinator at schoolgardens@recworcester.org to express interest.
