Volunteer on Hands On Nashville's urban farm in April

Spring is finally making its way back in Middle Tennessee, and volunteering can now be a breeze when it's helping the community outside in a gardening environment.

Hands On Nashville is seeking volunteers to visit its urban farm and help with some gardening projects 9-11 a.m. April 25. Projects range from digging in the ground, planting starts and seeds, watering and weeding existing rows and making new garden rows for planting.

"Volunteers are essential to keeping our farm running," said Charlotte Pate, HON's Urban Agriculture AmeriCorps member. "When they come out to the farm, they're going to be mulching, weeding and really prepping our fields for our spring and summer crops."

The event's purpose is for the community, but it also gives volunteers an opportunity to learn gardening skills as well as healthy eating choices. No experience is necessary.

Volunteers should wear closed-toe shoes and clothes that they don't mind getting dirty.
