Seed kit packing for Denver Urban Gardens' Grow A Garden program
Pack seed kits for DUG's Grow A Garden program — count and assemble packets indoors at DUG headquarters. All ages welcome, no experience needed.
Why we picked this
DUG's Grow A Garden seed kits help Denver families grow food at home — packing them is a quiet afternoon of counting and assembling that ships real seeds to real gardens.
Denver Urban Gardens’ Grow A Garden program distributes seed kits to Denver families so they can grow their own food. This volunteer shift assembles those kits — counting and packing various seed varieties into individual packets, then organizing them into the kits that get distributed. The work is indoor and relaxed, involves some walking and standing, and is well-suited for all ages.
Wear comfortable shoes. The shift is at DUG headquarters at 1031 33rd St in Denver. Parking is available nearby, and the location is accessible by transit. Up to 12 volunteers can join the session.
The Grow A Garden program connects urban residents with seeds and growing resources for home gardens, balconies, and community plots. Seed kits volunteers pack in April go into the ground across Denver in the weeks that follow.
