Volunteer with Seedleaf

One of the goals of Seedleaf is to nourish fellowship and community throughout Lexington by growing and sharing food, and by upcycling food waste into finished compost. This work happens primarily through volunteers like you. It takes a variety of skills from folks big and small (and critters!) to help Seedleaf carry out our mission.

How to volunteer with seedleaf

Step one: sign up for days and times that work for you! Opportunities are available multiple days a week and on weekends March 1 - October 31. No weekly commitment is required, but you must sign up for each shift you attend.

Step two: show up to the garden at your scheduled time.

Step three: check in once you arrive to the garden.

Volunteer events are cancelled on rain days, when lightning is present, or when temps are above 90 or below 35 degrees Fahrenheit.

Organizational Groups

Seedleaf welcomes various organizational groups to join us in completing labor-intensive garden tasks. This is a great way for student, religious, and corporate groups to engage in team building and group development while also getting a chance to play outside. If your group is under 10 people, check out our regular volunteer opportunities here. Each member of your group must sign up before volunteering. If your group is larger than 10 people, please email farm@seedleaf.org with your group name, desired dates, and number of people. When larger projects are available, we will contact your group to schedule. At this time, we can only accommodate groups up to 15 people unless it is a sponsored event.
