Extinction Rebellion DC Volunteer Day with the Garden Guild
Start: Wednesday, July 23, 2025•05:00 PM
Extinction Rebellion DC is inviting you out to the Franciscan Monastery Garden Guild for a volunteer day on Wednesday, July 23 from 5pm to 8pm.
The Garden Guild is an 11-acre non-profit garden independent from the Monastery that grows thousands of pounds of produce a year for donation to local food banks and shelters.
We will be weeding, mulching, harvesting, and getting dirty with other general garden maintenance, so please wear long pants, socks, and closed toed shoes. You will get a chance to tour our gardens and the 100+ year-old greenhouse. This is a chance to learn some basic gardening techniques, and connect to local environmental advocates!
The entrances to the garden and greenhouse are paved, but the spaces between garden beds are not paved. We will be standing, squatting, bending, lifting, and using sharp gardening tools. There are shaded picnic tables at which to sit. We will assign gardening tasks based on physical needs as requested.
