Discover the joy of organic gardening, connect with your community, and unwind in a stunning outdoor setting by volunteering at the Sunflower Hill Garden at the historic Hagemann Ranch in Livermore! Whether you’re an individual, part of a community organization, or a corporate team, we offer unique and meaningful volunteer opportunities for everyone.
Volunteer activities include typical horticulture tasks like harvesting, planting, weeding, mulching, and composting. Regular garden volunteers can also qualify to work directly alongside our program participants with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We also welcome collaborations with large community organizations and corporations to plan and execute significant construction projects to enhance and maintain the garden. No experience is required.
Please review the specific volunteer opportunities for individuals, groups, and our community work days. We hope to see you soon at Sunflower Hill Garden at Hagemann Ranch.
