8/7/2018 Green Island Gardens: Summer 2018 Overview Three more days left until we complete the 2018 Green Island Gardens 6-Week Summer YouthWorks Program! Overview of Program: Mission: Green Island Gardens’ (GIG) mission is to beautify the retail district and residential area. In the Green Island and Canal District neighborhoods, GIG shows beauty and pride in the neighborhood and engages the community in gardening. The Community Garden The Garden is the heart of this program. It beautifies and provides fresh, local produce to the neighborhood. The Green Island Community Garden is all organic and all the material is used from local stores or businesses. In our garden, you will also find Native Plants and Perennial Flowers that help promote biodiversity, and shelter and food for wildlife! Planter Initiative The main objective of the planter initiative is to make the Green Island and Canal District Neighborhood more inviting and attractive. We partner with local businesses to maintain planters and clean up store fronts. Neighborhood Clean-Ups Neighborhood Clean-ups are another way that the Green Island Gardens Program helps to beautify and keep our neighborhood and waterways clean. We dispose of trash throughout the neighborhood, including community green spaces such as Crompton Park. Here are some pictures from this summer from our AIDS Project Worcester Community Garden fieldtrip, Central Mass Youth Jobs Coalition site visit, Nutrition Class with UMASS Extention Nutrition Education Program, and daily work around the neighborhood! Hope you enjoy!

I've been hearing a lot of good things about Green Island Gardens: Summer 2018! It was a good thing that a lot of children enjoyed a lot. But what's more important about this matter is the fact that the children learned the art of planting. It's a good thing that we are breaching these kids essential things they should learn, especially with the idea of taking care our environment. By the way, I am quite hopeful that this Green Island Gardens program will remain the same I am quite hopeful with what.
