How you helpWith over 70 community gardens in the region, we have tons of opportunities available for interested volunteers. We also have a newer project, Treeforestation, which focuses on clearing Cincinnati's green spaces of invasive plants. We even have a volunteer group for young professionals, which meets monthly for volunteer events and happy hours. Reach out to us if you're interested!
