URBAN GREENS CONTINUES TO GROW!
Urban Greens continues to expand for the 2023 season! Our sites now include Restoration Park, Brighton Grows (Veterans Garden), Zanesville Community High School, Maple-Harding, and Marshall Greens (which we’re expanding to an acre and a half). We’re also adding a Youth Garden at the Brighton Grows site! We have partnered with the South Zanesville Food Pantry to grow food to the specific wants and needs of those who utilize this pantry. We will be providing educational programming throughout the Spring and Summer on how to prepare the produce they are receiving as well as information on how to start personal gardens. We have gathered an amazing group of volunteers with a variety of skills who are eager to participate in the success of the community gardens this season! But more volunteers are always needed and welcome!
MSWCD is currently seeking volunteers for our Maple-Harding, Marshall Greens, and Brighton Grows Locations
