Your Garden Show




Your Garden Show, a new website for gardeners to share, get inspired and document their garden, has recently recognized a Greencorps community garden! The engine 57 Firehouse participated in the GC annual distribution day event and brought the new blooming plants home to their garden.

Videographer Katie captures blissful moments of Greencorps distribution day routine and green job training program trainees assisting community gardeners with the plants. Check out the video and the website here!
