Big Red Barn Retreat

GARDENING

Gardening is a wonderful activity to help reduce stress and anxiety by providing a soothing rhythm through routines like watering, weeding, and harvesting.

Join us at the Big Red Barn Retreat for seasonal/monthly garden work days, where we work in the garden planting and growing vegetables and fruits for every season. 

Weekly volunteer opportunities are available on Thursday mornings from 9:30 AM to 11 AM.  No pre-registration required!

Please note: Garden volunteering will be paused on December 25th and January 1st.  Join us for our first opportunity on January 8th, 2026!
