The garden is creating space for those who are curious and willing to dig in. Join us for a hands-on volunteer day to beautify the garden! Spend the day digging in alongside fellow community members as we tackle garden clean-up tasks such as weeding, spreading mulch, litter collection, and general garden maintenance.
