Get involved with the Pendleton Community Garden through one of these volunteer and sponsorship opportunities: Garden Council, Partnerships and Donations, Volunteers
GARDEN COUNCIL
The founding partners designed the garden with the community in mind and thus, the community should have a say in it’s management and operation. We are working to stand up a Community Garden Council that will meet quarterly (four times per year) to support and council UCo with its management decisions, operations structure, sustainability planning, caretaking/maintenance and partnerships. We will have a nomination process for interested community members who will serve next to representatives of our partners. Stay tuned for more information.
PARTNERSHIPS AND DONATIONS
Are you a business in the area, an educational institution or program, a nonprofit and would like to partner with the garden in some way? This is a public space and we are always seeking ways to integrate with other organizations and businesses in our region. The garden is also available to host learning opportunities and events.
