About the volunteering opportunity
The Cologne Food Council is looking for volunteers to work in Cologne's community gardens. They want to make Cologne more edible, i.e. make locally produced fruit and vegetables easily accessible to all Cologne residents and facilitate low-threshold access to the environment and community through gardening. There are a large number of community garden/edible city initiatives that are organized in different ways.
Your Tasks
Volunteer help is low-threshold, but also flexible. It can range from one-off activities (planting beds, winterizing the garden, garden party) to regular services (e.g. watering) to sporadic help (planting, harvesting, social media, managing email distribution lists). The range of activities on offer is as varied as the gardens themselves.
If you are interested, please contact us and we will then make a referral depending on your location and interest.
