Sunburst Unlimited, Inc., dba Gardens from Garbage, is a 501 3c non-profit that guides and educations our youth and community in developing sustainable food practices and encourages healthy eating highlighted by our Westside Orchard Garden. Our Westside Orchard Garden is a 2.2-acre plot where we grow, model and employ a variety of gardening methods, teach classes for adults, mentor kids raising their own vegetables, experiment with new and innovative methods for growing, and host seminars for groups.
Volunteers are highly encouraged at the garden. Opportunities range from helping kids to grow and harvest vegetables, helping out on garden picnic days or coming to the garden on weekends to help garden, pull weeds, extract honey or harvest vegetables. We also welcome whatever expertise skills you have, including marketing, website design, or graphic design to help our program grow.
Volunteers are always supervised out at the garden, so any hand on gardening skills can be taught. Since you may be working with kids, we cannot accept any volunteers at the garden with child endangerment charges. Please contact us if you have any questions.
Our garden operates Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. with occasional weekend work volunteer parties. Volunteers are encouraged to be out at the garden for at least an hour when volunteering.
You can become a volunteer by reaching out to our organization. You can contact Mike Dalton aka Captain Compost at 406-868-2359 or email us at sunburstunlimited@gmail.com subject: volunteering.
