VMC Day of Service 2025: Organic Gardening (Sustainability Garden, Queens Campus)

RSVP REQUIRED: Click here to register through GivePulse.

NATURE AND PURPOSE OF SERVICE SITE:

As part of the University's efforts to create and promote a more sustainable campus, the Sustainability Garden (located on the Queens Campus next to the Softball field) offers a beautiful and organic way for students and employees to get involved. Volunteers help the Sustainability Team plant, maintain and harvest the organic garden beds throughout the year. The vegetables grown are delivered to St. John's Bread and Life in Brooklyn once they are harvested - click here to see photos!

Please note: Gardening will take place rain or shine, unless there are thunderstorms (ponchos will be provided, if necessary). Please plan to wear outdoor clothing and shoes that will likely get dirty.
