Volunteer Garden Beautification And Open House

Join Jes Good Rewards Children’s Garden and NYC Parks GreenThumb for an Open House and hands-on volunteer day cleaning up the garden!

Simply relax in the garden or get hands-on with gardening tasks like collecting debris, removing weeds, and reorganizing garden furniture. This is a great opportunity for new and experienced gardeners looking to get involved in community gardening.

We’ll provide all the tools, training, and guidance to ensure a productive and safe volunteer day! Please wear sturdy work shoes and weather-appropriate clothing and bring water and snacks. Note some tasks will involve lifting heavy materials and extended periods of bending, squatting, and moving.

In the event of inclement weather, we’ll reschedule this event to Sunday, September 13th.

For information about group volunteering, please contact the GreenThumb Volunteer Program at gt.volunteer@parks.nyc.gov.

GreenThumb community gardens are organized, led, and cared for by dedicated volunteer gardeners who critically upkeep them as public green spaces. With GreenThumb’s support, community gardens are centers of environmental justice, ensuring that our city is fairer, safer, and greener for all. GreenThumb’s events are free and open to the public.
