Festival Garden and JP Gardening Opportunities
Volunteers from JP have adopted a SWCP garden near Stony Brook, with a theme of edible gardening, with expectations of produce to share among neighbors. There are also additional new opportunities to volunteer as garden stewards in various Southwest Corridor Park locations around JP. For this and other volunteer opportunities, email info@swcpc.org.
