Plant Restoration Project
At our community garden, we are cultivating a space that supports both people and the environment. In line with this mission, we will be removing invasive plants around the perimeter of our garden in order to replace them with native species in the coming Spring. This project will create healthier habitat for pollinators and beneficial insects, which means healthier fruits and vegetables for our gardeners!
