We seek to nourish and support our local community by working with PORCH Hillsborough. All our produce is donated to local families in need.
Our garden features a wide variety of vegetables, including tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, and more. We practice sustainable agriculture methods in our garden including water conservation via irrigation, composting, cover cropping and leaf mulching.
We welcome all members of the community to get involved in our garden. Whether you're an experienced gardener or a beginner, there's a place for you in our garden. Join us for a workday or come by and see us.
Please reach us at hilcomgarden@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
We have lots of delicious veggies being grown and even more to come!
Cabbages, Kale, Chard, Tatsoi, Bok Choy, Chinese broccoli, Onions, Radishes, Lettuce, Arugula, Peppers, Cilantro, Bush Beans, Pole beans, Cucumbers, Tomatoes and Squash are the main crops we will be growing at the garden.
While our main goal is to donate our produce to porch, that isn't to say we won't have extra veg for our lovely volunteers! There is nothing better than sinking your teeth into a tomato sandwich with a tomato you just harvested!
Absolutely no experience is required to work at the garden. Anyone and everyone is welcome to come play in the dirt with us!
No minimum hours are required to volunteer at our garden. You can stay for as little or as long as you would like!
Don't worry if you do not have tools to work with either, we have extra gloves, hand trowels and any other tools needed to help at the garden. However we do recommended coming prepared with water, a hat and sunscreen. It is hard to find shade at the garden which is great for our plants or getting a tan ;) but not the best for us hard at work! Lets stay hydrated!
We also do not have onsite restrooms but there are nice public restrooms on King St. near Margaret Lane at the Hillsborough Visitors Center.
We host volunteers Spring to Fall. Our current Summer hours are Saturdays 9am - noon and Wednesdays 4:30 pm - 6:30pm. Feel free to pop in and say hello during our hours and take a look around. We love visitors! We are located alongside the Hillsborough Riverwalk trail along the Eno River. You can also access the back of the garden through Burnside Dr. for parking.
