Join Essex County Greenbelt for some hands-on impact caring for our community gardens! This community garden clean up day will help us close down Young Farm Community Garden in Gloucester for the season and prepare for 2026. Volunteers are welcome to come whenever they are available between 9:30am-2:00pm.

Projects may include repairing and maintaining fences, removing weeds and invasive plants, putting away hoses for the season, a painting project, removing derelict garden border materials, and any other necessary maintenance in the garden. All skill levels are welcome and instruction will be provided by Greenbelt Stewardship staff. Greenbelt will provide work gloves, tools, and snacks!

Accessibility Notes: Parking is a very short walk to the project site. Most tasks will require bending over and some light to moderate lifting. Work will occur over grass, gravel trails, and wood chip surfaces. Final project details will be shared the week of the event. Thank you for helping us take care of these beloved community gardens!
