Allen Neighborhood Center | Hunter Park Garden House
Project Description
Hunter Park GardenHouse is a neighborhood-based educational farm and community garden. Developed in 2008 as part of a community-led improvement plan for Hunter Park, the GardenHouse centers programming in three areas: home gardening education for all ages, fresh food access, and urban ecological restoration.
Volunteers will be expected to support the garden with work that could include weeding, watering, planting, harvesting, moving mulch, and any other garden related activities.
