Get Involved

  • How can I get involved?

    In a normal semester, we would say come to our garden volunteer days! Typically, they would be every Saturday from 10 am - 12 pm, weather permitting. Sadly, that won't be possible this semester. But we'd still love for you to join the Perch from your home by signing up for our organization on HopkinsGroups, where you'll get updates about meetings, events, and all that great stuff!

  • What is the time commitment for members/volunteers?

    When the Perch is open for work days, we appreciate all the help we can get! You can commit as much or as little time to the garden as you can. Since we won't be having work days this semester, we will instead host biweekly meetings with fun activities and discussions. We hope to see you there!

  • What if I don't know much about gardening?

    That's alright! Come to a volunteer day where you can work under the guidance of the garden manager and other experienced gardeners. Gardening is a very exciting hobby, and while there are many aspects to learn, it is very rewarding. (Just wait until you taste the first carrot you grow yourself!) Coming to the garden as a casual gardener to work on the communal rows could be a great start to a lifelong hobby!
