Community Projects and Activities at JPH

---

 Our horticulture and gardening community is headed up by a Master Gardener who will lead you every step of the way.  Creating gardens and beautiful landscapes for the community we serve will serve so many.  Our long term plan is to grow food to help community members who are food insecure, provide farm-to-table community meals and provide opportunities for adult and youth to find peace and purpose in our gardening opportunities.  No experience necessary.

 JPH at Ferry Hill has an amazing group of artists and art enthusiasts.  This special community has been assembled to work on monthly community themes and special event design.  Any level of art experience or just an appreciation for art qualifies you to join this community.  This is a non-judgement community with a goal of having a common purpose in creating community projects as a team!

 We’re excited to launch a community project to convert a pop-up camper into a mobile nonprofit mission vehicle! This versatile unit will serve as a traveling hub, visiting farmers' markets and community events to provide resources, support, and engagement to those in need. We invite you to join us in this effort—whether through hands-on help with the conversion, donations of materials or funds, or volunteering your skills. Together, we can create a valuable resource for our community and make a meaningful impact. Get involved and be part of this transformative project!

 The goal of Renato's project is to create a beautiful healing landscape that can provide peace and serenity for others in need. It will also help to create gardening and horticulture projects and programs that will help others in need to find connection to the outdoors. 

 Spring, summer, and fall offer wonderful opportunities to get involved in gardening, grounds maintenance, and horticulture projects. In spring, help us with planting and preparing garden beds for the growing season. During the summer, join us in maintaining vibrant landscapes and tending to lush gardens. Fall is the perfect time for seasonal clean-up and preparing the grounds for the colder months ahead. We also host work weekends throughout these seasons, offering flexible ways to contribute. Whether you can join us for a single day or multiple weekends, your involvement will make a lasting impact on our community's green spaces.
