Volunteering at Sweet Pea’s
Our volunteers recognize the value of growing flowers using sustainable organic practices on local farms, rather than relying solely on large wholesalers and international flower trade.
We’re so grateful for their invaluable contributions in supplying our local community with the diverse array of specialty flowers we cultivate. In return, our volunteers get valuable horticultural and floral design experience.
Our dedicated volunteers lend their support to the flower farm and at special events:
- Preparing planting beds
- Assisting with seeding / tuber planting
- Weeding
- Cleaning and sanitizing buckets and tools
- Staking and labeling plants
- Applying organic products that are safe for both pollinators and the environment
- Delivering flower orders – It’s so satisfying to see our happy customers’ faces!
- Flower processing for floral orders
- Assisting at events
Our volunteers need no prior gardening, floral design or farming experience, although we warmly welcome it!
Volunteer Qualifications Include:
- Ability to lift up to 35 pounds
- Flexibility to bend, squat, kneel, or sit on the ground as needed
- The possibility of encountering dogs
- Demonstrated reliability, ideally with specific days or time blocks available
- Ability to maintain a positive, team-oriented attitude
- Just like us, our volunteers share a profound love for flowers and nature.
