KPB Teen Squad Community Service Hours

Earn Your Community Service Hours While Working Outdoors to Beautify Your Community!

We have over 10 edible gardens around Pickens County that need caring for and offer weekly hours in different gardens every Sunday from 2-4pm.

Garden location for this Sunday will be announced the day before the event, via text or email to registered KPB Teens.

Gardening Activities Include:

Planting new plants, fertilizing plants,  fresh soil, compost and mulch, weeding,
watering, pruning, collecting seeds, labeling plants, cleaning up litter around garden, etc.

What Should I Bring?

KPB has gardening tools, but students are encouraged to bring their own,
as well as water, sunscreen, bug spray or snacks as needed. 

**Please arrive 30 minutes early to your first community service event,
or 15 minutes if you’ve already been to allow for preparation and instructions.
