The Volunteer Work form (below) is for garden members to record the volunteer work they do at the garden or at garden-related events. Every person with a plot is required to do 5 hours of community service, so mobilizing and recording volunteer work is important for the community garden.
Volunteer Work - Use the Community Service Hour form to record your volunteer work at the Juneau Community Garden. The Juneau Community Garden requires five hours per plot of community garden service each year. Each unworked hour is worth $20, payable at the end of the season. Please try to fit these hours into your schedule. Your efforts will go a long way toward daily maintenance of our garden and making it look great.
Contact the people listed below for detailed instructions via email: communitygarden998@gmail.com and include the name of the contact person in the subject line. Also, feel free to suggest any other garden improvement ideas.
When completing any community service hours, be sure to record your service hours by filling in a service hour form, available on this page, and leaving it in the box in the main shed or mailing it to Juneau Community Garden, PO Box 033395, Juneau, AK 99803.
Before undertaking any repairs that require materials or expenditures, please check with a board member for an okay to purchase.
Upcoming Work Parties, time and dates to be determined:
- Building a pad for the new dumpster
- Building permanent frames for two temporary Harvest Fair structures--a Farmers' Market shelter and an extension to the Pavilion for Exhibits
- Adding a new roof to the shed
- Repairing the electrical wiring on the fence.
Ongoing Maintenance Projects – Contact Alea Oien for details
-
Weeding the JCG Flower Beds - A1, B1, C1, D1, beds next to the main gate, and the plot that has the JCG sign in it.
-
Grass mowed - along and in between rows, along the roadsides, the large open space by the covered shelter, around the supplement piles and the compost piles and around the sheds.
-
Walk the entire fence line (both sides of the fence) and remove brush from the fence line corridor.
-
Take home and dispose of any garbage.
-
Weed-whack areas that the lawn mower can’t get to.
-
Tool repair. Wheelbarrows need their tires pumped up and handles tightened down. Weed-whackers always need to be restrung, refueled with proper fuel and small engine repair. The JCG is especially thankful to persons with the time and knowledge to help keep our gas powered tools in good repair.
-
Weed piles should be tarped or re-tarped.
-
Dump runs with stuff from behind the shed and any other garbage from around the garden.
-
Burn piles need to be burned.
-
Remove orange hawkweed or any other invasive species. Secure these weeds in a plastic bag so they don’t get spread.

Gate Duty: contact Janet Valentour
Secure the garden by locking the community gate nightly for one week. This service is worth 3.5 hours. Close the gate nightly starting on Sunday and finishing on Saturday. The gate should be closed between 9:30-10:30 pm in the early summer and can be closed between 9 and 10 pm later in the season. In addition to locking the gate, a quick sweep of the lot is needed to lock the shed and close other gates which give access to fishermen. Your duty is part of keeping the community garden safe from vandalism and animal access. Please only sign up for this service if you know you can lock the gate for one full week. When you email a request, be sure to include a few optional weeks and your contact phone number. Your service cannot exceed two weeks.
