    About the Role

    We are looking for individuals who find peace in the soil and joy in the growth of nature. As a Garden Volunteer, you will help maintain our 10-acre sanctuary, ensuring it remains a sacred space for all who visit.

    • Labyrinth & Sacred Spaces: Tidying the paths and weeding around our contemplative walking areas.
    • Land Care: Helping with seasonal tasks like spreading wood chips, clearing brush, or watering planters.
    • Special Projects: Assisting with our apiary (bees) or planting native trees as part of our sustainability initiatives.

    Who We’re Looking For

    • No "green thumb" required-we welcome all skill levels!
    • Ability to perform light physical work (bending, lifting, or walking the trails).

    Perfect for: Individuals, student service hours, employee groups, church groups, or anyone looking to spend time in the garden.
