Growing Louisville Green

We're looking for companies, community organizations, scout groups, school groups, or families to work with our garden team to adopt and care for a garden bed in the park. This is a flexible and rewarding way to build a sense of community, learn more about native plant species, and help us keep our gardens looking great year-round!  Contact Ali Greenwell at ali greenwell for more information.
