Cultivate Toronto is gearing up for another spectacular year of growth, both in our gardens and as an organization. We’re looking for motivated self-starters who work well as part of a team and are looking for a chance to develop their leadership and management experience in a challenging and rewarding position. Being a part of the CultivateTO team means being passionate about fresh and local food and wanting to making a real difference in the community.
Volunteers will have the opportunity to manage key projects, gain valuable hands-on experience, and contribute to a growing organization.
We are currently looking for a Garden Coordinator for our Wychwood hub.
Description:
The Garden Coordinator will work with interns and volunteers to manage the gardens and ensure healthy harvests for the CSA program in our Wychwood hub (near Atlas Ave, between St. Clair Ave W and Vaughan Rd). The Garden Coordinator will carry out the following duties and responsibilities as a part-time volunteer: starting seeds, preparing beds, building garden structures, transplanting seedlings, fertilizing, watering, pruning, weeding, managing pests, and harvesting produce. The Garden Coordinator will also train interns, liaise with homeowners and CSA shareholders, and lead volunteers.
Qualifications:
The ideal candidate is a motivated self-starter who works well as part of a team and is looking for a chance to develop their leadership experience. Strong gardening/farming skills and the confidence to work without direct supervision are crucial to success in this role. Must be able to commit to the full growing season, 2-3 hours on Wednesday evenings and 3-4 hours on Sunday afternoons/evenings from now until October.
