Giving Garden Internships
Gardening, Farming, Sustainability

Our Giving Garden is a 501c3 non-profit community center farm devoted to addressing food insecurity in our area by growing sustainably cultivated produce and donating it to families in need. We are also an education center, providing a safe space for our community to enrich their relationships to nature, and food systems with camps, clubs, events and volunteer opportunities. An internship at Our Giving Garden can offer experience in sustainable agriculture, homesteading, non-profit work, volunteer management, education, landscaping and more!
