Preparations at the Interfaith Community Garden for planting season

Community gardens are vital for urban environments. They provide fresh produce, bolster community ties, and improve local air quality. A study found that neighborhoods with community gardens see an increase of nearly 30% in residents' social interactions. By joining us on the 19th, you can help ensure these spaces flourish for future generations.

Every pair of hands is needed, as volunteers will engage in various tasks such as weeding, planting, and cleaning up. These efforts promote local food production and boost community resilience, making a real difference in our area.

Rain or shine, the Earth Day Garden Cleanup will proceed! Dress for the weather, as April can be unpredictable in Syracuse. A bit of rain won’t dampen our spirits when we unite for a shared goal!
