TJMS Community Garden Volunteer Policy
Community volunteers help TJMS meet the needs of S. Arlington families with our produce donations to local food pantries. We can't do it without you! In the 2023 garden season, we donated over fifteen hundred pounds of fresh produce from the garden. It was a lot of work, and we couldn't have done it without our volunteers.
TJ families, neighbors, and community volunteers are invited to join us on Saturday mornings from 10:00am to noon. It's a great opportunity to get fresh air, learn about gardening, and spend time with our friends and neighbors. All ages are welcome, but children under 6th grade must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
We also welcome corporate volunteer workdays, National Honor Society volunteers, scout troops, and any other volunteer group that would like to join us. If you're interested in setting up a special workday just for your group, please send an email to tjmsoutside@gmail.com.

We had such a productive morning in the garden with this volunteer group organized by Deloitte. We got paths mulched and a section of weeds covered with black plastic to solarize for a few weeks until we are ready to plant. Thanks for helping out! ... See MoreSee Less
