Inter-Faith Food Shuttle is a North Carolina based non-profit organization, and partner with the Feeding America Network. Our Learning Gardens fall under our "GROW" initiative - helping to combat food insecurity by bringing neighbors together to promote local food production.
The Geer Street Learning Garden is a flourishing urban green space located between one of the most vulnerable census tracts and one of the most prosperous business districts in Durham. The garden has twelve vegetable beds, community garden beds, fruit trees, an outdoor kitchen, a small greenhouse, a vermicompost system, a perennial rain garden, a pollinator garden and areas for community gatherings...all on only a quarter-acre lot! Conveniently located in Durham’s urban food corridor, the garden neighbors include Reinvestment Partners, Farmer Foodshare, and an urban demonstration apiary managed by Bee Downtown. The heart of the Geer Street Learning Garden is the countless community partnerships we have built in Durham.
During a shift, volunteers will assist with general gardening tasks such as seasonal harvesting, packing, planting, weeding, pruning, mulching, and greenhouse work. Come prepared to bend, kneel, and lift medium to heavy items to complete our daily tasks.
