The Community Design Lab is a volunteer program that connects art, creativity, and nature. We are seeking dedicated garden maintenance volunteers to help maintain our current and upcoming gardens in Montgomery County.
Help care for gardens, native plant habitats, and trees while supporting environmental stewardship and community beautification. Garden Maintenance Volunteers assist with planting, weeding, watering, mulching, pruning, invasive species removal, and seasonal garden clean-up. Whether you are an experienced gardener or simply enjoy working outdoors, your efforts help create healthy, welcoming spaces for people and wildlife. Training is provided, and volunteers can participate on a flexible, ongoing basis throughout the year. There may be instances where you are volunteering alone or with a group of volunteers.
Any students under age 18 will be directly supervised by an adult representative from The Urban Studio.
Activities include:
• Weeding and maintaining garden beds
• Watering and mulching
• Pruning and seasonal garden care
• Removing invasive species
• Assisting with garden clean-ups and special workdays
Ideal for: Gardeners, nature lovers, conservation volunteers, students, retirees, and anyone who enjoys hands-on outdoor work and environmental stewardship.
Student participation in this service project is at the discretion of the student’s parent/guardian and must be completed outside of school hours in a public space under direct supervision of the nonprofit organization. The nonprofit organization is responsible for maintaining student safety. Parents/guardians should contact the nonprofit directly with any questions and/or concerns.
