Hi Kristen,
University extensions have people to help you. I recommend asking a SNAP-Ed coordinator to help you. They are trained to help in Farm-2-School/Community projects. Master Gardeners are also available as volunteers to help per event but are limited in that they cannot provide labor, only education and advice.

Subject: Community Garden at School
Hello! My students want to make a community garden at the front of our school. Would anyone happen to have any tips or ideas about how to do this successfully? They have mentioned wanting people to be able to pick straight from the garden, and they could help us keep it weeded (especially during the summer). Or we could put the garden somewhere else and have a fresh produce stand of some sort set up on the weekend? This is still a very new idea so any and all tips/ideas are welcome!
