Volunteer with KGD
Join us at the farm
Volunteering is a great way to get to know KGD Farm, spend some time outside, and sharpen your garden skills. Volunteers lend a hand with seasonal tasks including transplant production, planting, harvesting, and general farm maintenance.

Community Seed Packing Events
Volunteer with Keep Growing Detroit as we pack seeds and write transplant labels for the upcoming growing season. Seed packing events are a great way to connect with growers in your area, learn about the Garden Resource Program, and plan your garden.
