August service day at Hinkley High School Community Garden
Help with cleanup and maintenance at the Hinkley High School community garden in Aurora — light to moderate outdoor work, no experience required.
Why we picked this
A Sunday morning at the Hinkley garden — three hours of cleanup and design work at a school-connected garden that DUG's Aurora program keeps running year to year.
Hinkley High School’s community garden holds regular service days through the growing season, and this one runs three hours in the morning. Expect general cleanup and design projects — light to moderate physical work, with DUG’s Aurora/Eastern Eggplants staff directing what needs doing.
Wear sun protection, closed-toe shoes, long pants, and a lightweight long-sleeved shirt, and bring water and gloves if you have them. There aren’t bathrooms on site, but nearby businesses have public restrooms.
The garden sits south of Hinkley High School and the Aurora Public Schools stadium, off Chambers Road. It’s one of several school-connected gardens DUG supports across the metro, giving students and neighbors a shared growing space.
