Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about joining our community

Do I need gardening experience to volunteer?

Not at all! We welcome volunteers of all experience levels. We provide training and pair new volunteers with experienced mentors to help you learn as you go.

How much time do I need to commit?

We're flexible with volunteer schedules. You can contribute as little as a few hours a month or become more involved with regular weekly activities. We work with your availability.

Can I start a carbon sink garden if I have limited space?

Absolutely! Carbon sink gardens can be created in spaces of all sizes, from small balconies to large backyards. We have resources specifically for small-space gardening.

Are there any costs involved in volunteering?

There are no costs to volunteer with us. We provide all necessary tools, materials, and training for our community projects. For home gardens, we offer guidance and some starter resources.

How do I know if my garden is actually absorbing carbon?

Our guidebook includes information on measuring carbon sequestration. While precise measurement requires specialized equipment, we provide guidelines to estimate your garden's impact based on plant types and soil health.

Can children get involved?
