Hunter Park Garden Beautification

We will incorporate a 20-minute orientation before work begins: Garden History & Purpose – honoring Emily McLean and how the garden has grown through volunteer effort.Soil Health Education – why healthy soil matters for plants, pollinators, and food production. How pine fines transform compact clay to loose soil. Design & Community Use – how the arbor creates a visual identity and signals this as a cared-for, public space.Volunteer Pathways – how to join ongoing garden maintenance crews or lead programming. Visual displays (before/after photos, planting diagrams, and soil improvement graphics) will be available. Volunteers will receive a take-home handout on soil care and future garden projects.
