What’s an “Active Volunteer”?
Active CGC volunteers can take many of our classes for free or at a discounted rate. We consider an active volunteer to be:
Any volunteer who attends an average of one workday per month. (We send the promo code out in our monthly Volunteer HQ emails, which go to registered volunteers.)
Community gardeners who coordinate or have an active plot in a CGC-affiliated garden. (We send the promo code out quarterly in our community gardens newsletter.)
Learn more about our teams and register as a CGC volunteer on our Volunteer page. If you’re already registered, see below for upcoming opportunities or check our calendar for the full schedule!
You’ll learn to help facilitate our high school field studies for participants in our Green Teens Challenge.
We’ll be organizing and cleaning up the hoop house to celebrate another successful Fall Native Plant Festival.

We’ll be running a community science BioBlitz to find and identify the plant species growing in our garden.
Kickstart your week with a trip to the garden and engage in seasonally relevant activities with the Lil’ Sprouts in your life! This free drop-in series for children ages 3 to 8 and their caregivers offers our youngest gardeners and nature lovers an opportunity to learn more about the natural world. We hold Lil' Sprouts on the second and fourth Monday of each month.
COST: Free!
We’ll be in the onsite veggie garden at Hauck Botanic Garden learning how best to plant and maintain a garden at this time of year.
