Volunteer at DUG's Spring Plant Sale — Friday shift
Help sell organic seedlings, compost, and fruit trees at City Park Greenhouse. Roles include cashier, loading, welcome crew, and kids corner. All ages welcome.
Why we picked this
DUG's annual plant sale draws a crowd — and volunteers are what keep it running smoothly. Pick a role (cashier, loader, welcome crew, kids corner) and spend a shift outdoors surrounded by seedlings.
Denver Urban Gardens holds its annual spring plant sale at the City Park Greenhouse, offering organic vegetable and herb seedlings, hanging baskets, fruit trees, straw, and Denver’s own A1 EcoGro compost. Volunteers make it happen — roles include cashier, welcome crew, compost and straw handling, plant care, loading assistance, and the kids corner.
It’s a lively outdoor event with a steady stream of Denver gardeners stocking up for the season. No gardening expertise required — staff will orient you to your role at the start of the shift. Comfortable outdoor clothing and closed-toe shoes are recommended; the greenhouse and surrounding area can be muddy.
City Park Greenhouse is at 2500 E 23rd Ave in Denver’s City Park neighborhood, near the Denver Zoo. Street parking and the 40 bus line are nearby. Register through the DUG volunteer portal.
