ECO: Garden Support at Firefly Grove
Support the Nature Immersion Program at Firefly Grove! It is a farm-based program for adults with disabilities where participants spend time in nature while engaging in gardening, animal care, and guided farm activities in a supportive setting. Completing the raised-bed culinary garden at Firefly Grove will transform it into a living classroom and food resource.
Volunteers will help increase access to fresh, healthy produce for program participants, provide hands-on culinary and gardening education, create therapeutic outdoor space for youth and adults, and strengthen community ties through shared stewardship.
