Anytime

Volunteers pick up bulk seed packets from TFHC Osborne, then take the seed packets home to put the seeds into smaller envelopes. Completed seed packets are dropped back off at Osborne where they will be given to patients and the community to grow flowers, herbs, and vegetables.

For students, volunteer service at TFHC counts toward Bright Futures scholarship requirements.

We appreciate your interest in being a Tampa Family Health Center Community Garden volunteer. Together, we can grow healthy food for patients, have fun learning about gardening, and make a difference in our community!
