Lone Elm Community Garden's daily tasks and long terms successes are possible thanks to the amazing help from our wonderful volunteers. You can also be a part of this gardening community that connect us to the earth and each other as we work together growing food for families and those in need.  


Below, you can find more information and a general description of our volunteer needs at Lone Elm, as well as the link to become a volunteer. In exchange for your time and efforts, you can take in-season produce home.  

We welcome individuals, groups, families and people of all ages to join us when it's convenient for you.
