Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at hilcomgarden@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What will be growing at the garden?

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.

Will I be able to take home any vegetables that we harvest?

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!

Do I need gardening experience to become a Volunteer?

Absolutely no experience is required to work at the garden. Anyone and everyone is welcome to come play in the dirt with us!

Are there a minimum number of hours required to Volunteer?

No minimum hours are required to volunteer at our garden. You can stay for as little or as long as you would like!

What should I come prepared with to garden?

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.
