Question 1

Is this only for UVA students?

Accepted Answer

Morven Kitchen Garden is happy to provide volunteer opportunities for all types of community members, not exclusively UVA students. However, we currently can only provide carpooling options to current UVA students.

Question 2

Are there carpooling options?

Accepted Answer

We try to keep our events sustainable and accessible by offering carpooling options to current UVA students. Simply respond to our transportation questions during registration and the organizer will contact you the day before your event to assign carpool groups.

Question 3

Do I need to worry about ticks and poison ivy?

Accepted Answer

While ticks and poison ivy only occur rarely at the garden, they have been noticed occasionally during the warm season. While not required, we encourage volunteers to wear long pants, check for ticks afterwards, and wash up with soap and water to reduce likelihood of these encounters.

Question 4

Are there bees at the garden?

Accepted Answer

Morven Kitchen Garden has several active honeybee colonies. In general, our bees are very docile and easily avoidable, however, those with severe allergies or phobias should be advised.

Question 5

I don't have boots. Are athletic shoes ok?

Accepted Answer

You can garden in almost any type of footwear. Just keep in mind that your shoes will get dirty and possibly wet/muddy. If your footwear is not waterproof, that dirt and/or mud can end up in your socks and on your feet. Some people prefer to bring a fresh pair of socks or shoes to change into.
