Community Garden Network Volunteer Opportunities

The Community Garden Network always welcomes volunteers.  A great range of opportunities are available to suit every interest and availability:

Board Members:

Community Garden Network is currently seeking candidates for its Board of Directors. It is expected that monthly meetings and additional committee responsibilities will be approximately 6-10 hours per month.  Candidates are asked to consider a commitment to the Community Garden Network Board for a three year rotation.  Please contact Susan Penstone or Trudy Spooner for more information, 447-9600.

Garden Help

If you have skills in gardening or composting our community gardens can use you. Occasionally our gardens hold workshops or information sessions and require a facilitator.  There is no set monthly time committment as it is on an as-needed basis.

Community Partners:

Help us to create and implement a strategy to form partnerships with local businesses as we seek resources for brand new gardens. For example, help us to build partnerships with local builders for recycled wood, tour garage sales to buy used tools, and obtain special discounts for soil, garden and building materials. Time commitment: July – onwards, about 3 hours per month.


What is the Community Garden Network? Incorporated as a not-for-profit society in 2003, the Community Garden Network (CGN) of Edmonton and Area is comprised of volunteers. Representing existing and emerging community gardens throughout Edmonton and area, it is supported by agencies and organizations that share the vision of the CGN.
