URBAN GREENS CONTINUES TO GROW!
Our sites now include Restoration Park, Brighton Grows (Veterans Garden), Zanesville Community High School, High Hill, Maple-Harding, and Marshall Greens. We’ve also recently added a Youth Garden at the Brighton Grows site! We continue to work with the Hunger Network to grow food for food pantries and hot food services in Muskingum County. Look for educational programming around food cultivation and preparation, conservation practices, and starting your own garden throughout the season.
