Participate
Gardeners work with volunteers’ support to actively participate in gardening, including:
Tend a community garden plot
By joining DIGA, participants can apply to tend one of our community garden plots each growing season. With the support of DIGA staff and volunteers, each participant nurtures and cares for their garden space. DIGA gardens are designed with accessibility in mind, including raised garden beds, accessible paths and access to adaptive gardening tools.

Workshops
DIGA hosts workshops throughout the year. Informational sessions offer gardening tips and techniques, including approaches to adaptive gardening. Hands-on sessions offer opportunities for participants to create and take home a planting. Workshops often feature a guest speaker who is an expert in their fields.
Past workshops included sprouting, bonsai trees, and wreath-making. Workshop topics are based on participants’ interests and needs. See the Calendar of Events for a list of upcoming workshops.
