Come on over to LEAF Community Garden in Niles on Labor Day morning from 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m.! We’ll be rejuvenating our Herb Garden and Apple Orchard to get ready for fall gardening.

This event is open to volunteers of all ages. If you need service hours, bring your forms! Remember to complete our volunteer agreement form from our volunteer page on the website if this is your first time volunteering with us.

We’re honored to be featured in @tricityvoice! The article by Stephanie Uchida, assignment editor, “Live like a garden, grow like a LEAF,” highlights our journey from a small community garden project to a flourishing urban farm and community hub focused on education. It shares how our volunteers, partners, and supporters have helped LEAF grow and shines a light on our expanded LEAF Urban Farm, educational programs, regenerative agricultural practices, and produce donations to food banks – over 5,000 pounds last year!
