Volunteer Workday: George Eagle Carr Community Garden

GreenThumb community gardens are developed, led, and cared for by dedicated volunteer gardeners who critically upkeep them as public green spaces.

George Eagle Carr Community Garden is a recently renovated garden in Jamaica, Queens that includes wheelchair-accessible pathways and raised beds. The gardeners are excited to meet volunteers and grow their membership. If you're interested in joining a community garden, please join us for a volunteer workday to meet the gardeners and perform basic garden maintenance such as organizing the tool shed, collecting debris, and spreading soil. No prior experience needed - beginners are welcome! Please wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and bring water and snacks. Note: Some tasks may involve lifting heavy materials and extended periods of bending, squatting, and moving.
