Community Gardening Day

This event invites you to join hands in a collective effort to nurture our shared green space. Dive into the joy of gardening as we plant, weed, and care for the garden together. Embrace the therapeutic benefits of working with the soil, fostering a deeper connection with nature and each other.

 

Engage in a variety of gardening activities suitable for all skill levels, from planting seeds to maintaining the garden's beauty. As we cultivate the earth, we'll also cultivate connections, fostering a sense of unity and shared purpose among our community.

 

Join us for a day of growth, camaraderie, and the joy of giving back to nature—a chance to sow seeds not just in the soil but in our hearts and community bonds. You can also earn service hours for this event!
