Volunteer with Madison Food Pantry Gardens

Join us in helping the Madison Area Food Pantry Gardens prepare for growing season! We'll meet at one of the area gardens and help by weeding, tilling, and planting seeds. We'd look forward to your help! Check out https://www.foodpantrygardens.org/our-gardens for more information on their gardening programs.

How to prepare:

All group members should complete our online Volunteer Waiver (https://www.foodpantrygardens.org/volunteer-waiver). Please wear sturdy shoes, clothing you don't mind getting dirty, and gardening gloves (we have extra gloves if needed). Bring your water bottle; wearing sunscreen is also encouraged. We will have additional drinking water to refill water bottles, hand sanitizer, a hand-washing station, and a porta-potty on site.

What to Expect: 

At this time of year, we will be establishing a flower patch for volunteers (zinnias, gladiolus, calendula, etc.), preparing our greenhouse for summer, installing weed fabric, and planting, watering, weeding, and harvesting our crops.

Directions to Forward Garden:
We are located at 7492 Old Sauk Road, Verona, WI 53593. Our driveway is just west of the parking lot entrance to Pope Farm Conservancy and across the street from the blue water tower at the top of the hill. We share a driveway with the large white barn. When you turn in, continue past the white barn and silos and park in our grass and parking lot just north of the white fence
