Garden Work Day

Join us for a Garden Work Day in Pine Lawn, hosted by A Red Circle on April 10th at 9am, our first collaboration for our Environmental Justice Days Of Action​​​​​​​. Volunteers will help build up their urban farm and plant potatoes at the North County Agricultural Education Center, which works to combat food apartheid.

In addition to the above, we have two other volunteer days during Earth Month, April 18th at O'Fallon Park, and April 24th in Dutchtown. We are partnering with other community organizations to bring you these Environmental Justice Days of Action to address food apartheid and illegal dumping.
