Chrysalis Center has gardens at its main campus, and a two-acre food forest at Cosgrove Commons, our supportive housing site, both located in Hartford. The gardens help clients learn how to harvest and grow their own foods, as well as make them available for Freshplace, the Homestead Farmers’ Market and La Cocina Catering. Volunteers help the gardens thrive by assisting with planting and harvesting produce, as well as general upkeep.
Age Qualification: Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age.
Time Frame: Shifts are scheduled Monday- Friday between the hours of 9-3pm. We ask volunteers to commit to a weekly shift to help maintain a garden schedule throughout the May- October season. Weekend opportunities are also available.
