Community Gardening this FRIDAY!
We hope you have all enjoyed introweek as much as possible, and: it’s not over yet! Come join us in GroenGoed’s beautiful community garden to get your hands green! Take part at Vredestuin - a short 4 minute bike-ride from Lucia - and explore a new part of the city!
To coordinate the day, we kindly ask you to sign up for a shift (11.00 - 13.00 / 13.00 - 15.00 / 15.00 - 17.00) to make an estimate of how many volunteers to expect at which part of the day. Of course, we are not going to keep you hostage for the full two hours ;p - coming and going is relatively flexible, but try to join around the time of the start of the shift!

Your role:
As a volunteer, you'll be an essential part of creating a greener, healthier, and more connected neighbourhood. You will be participating in 🌱 Gardening & Harvesting group activities, which are amazing opportunities to engage with the community and connect with nature in the middle of the city!
Beginner Level – No green fingers? No problem! You'll receive guidance from professionals, so no experience is needed — just enthusiasm and a willingness to learn. Check this out before signing up.
Where and when:
Vredestuin: Friday, August 28th from 11:00 to 17:00 at Bloklandstraat (Google Maps).
🤝 Message from the organiser:
“Welkom students,
Come and participate in one of the neighborhood vegetable gardens and help make the neighborhood more lively and healthier! Every week, you can join a group of participants and work at fixed times under professional supervision.
The jobs vary from working with plants to painting, building with wood, drawing up sowing schedules, following/organizing workshops and more.
Throughout the year, we ensure a varied harvest together, which is distributed among those present after each working moment.
If you don't have green fingers yet, no problem. There is green paint to dip your hands and get them green. No, that's a joke…”
The organiser:
Groengoed Rotterdam is a vibrant community initiative where students and local residents come together to cultivate neighbourhood vegetable gardens. With a mission to make the area greener, healthier, and more connected!
