February Service and Community Gardening Day

Many people arrive with a quiet desire to serve, paired with uncertainty about whether they have the “right” skills to offer. Saturday Service Day at Just Love Forest exists for exactly this place of curiosity.

This day is not about arriving with expertise. It is about arriving as you are - open, willing, and interested in discovering new ways to contribute. Each person brings something different: strength, patience, attentiveness, creativity, or simply a readiness to learn. Every form of participation is valued.

Together, participants care for the living systems that support both the land and the community. There is always ongoing work in the community garden, along with seasonal trail and grounds care, and special building projects designed to be accessible to a wide range of ages and abilities. Everyone is encouraged to choose work that feels safe and comfortable for them. While learning is welcomed, personal safety and well-being always come first.

Service at Just Love Forest is not measured by productivity or output. It is understood as a pathway to purpose and interdependence - a way of remembering that community is built when people allow themselves to both offer support and receive it. Often, participants discover abilities they did not know they had simply by working alongside others.

The day includes time to work, pause, connect, and share a nourishing meal together. By the end of the afternoon, the land is more cared for, and so is the sense of belonging among those who gathered.
