Sign-up to volunteer at Kilgore's Community Garden! Shifts are Monday mornings from 9am- 12pm led by our wonderful staff member Mallary! Sign-up here: https://www.columbiaurbanag.org/volunteer

Kilgore’s Community Garden (located on Providence) is a beautiful garden in the side yard of Kilgore’s Pharmacy. Kilgore's is different from our other locations because the produce is specifically grown for the preschoolers at Nora Stewart Early Learning Center. This means our volunteers get to grow things not grown at our other sites such as: blueberries, peaches, pears, cantaloupes, and watermelons!
