Opportunity Details

Get Out and Garden! (age 10+) *MLK 2012*

Hands On Managed projects offer you an opportunity to join a group of volunteers on a done-in-a-day project led by a Hands On Volunteer Leader

Be one of 2,100 volunteers honoring the legacy of Dr. King through meaningful service to communities throughout the Greater Portland area.

Portland Community Gardens provides garden space and educational events within Portland's neighborhoods. Each month we are working in the common areas of a local garden -- laying paths, weeding, mulching, removing invasive species, pruning, building beds, planting, and more, depending on the needs at each month's garden.  

Please dress for the weather, bring garden/work gloves if you have them, and wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty. It is also a good idea to bring a water bottle, as not all gardens have drinking water readily available on site.

**Win a Kindle Fire by recruiting four or more volunteers to join you over MLK Weekend! Click here for details.

  • Please fill out this MLK Adult & Youth Waiver and bring it with you to the project. All volunteers under 18 are required to bring a waiver signed by their parent or legal guardian.
