Service Project

Celebrate Juneteenth at The Garden of Tomorrow

June 24, 2023

07:45 AM - 11:00 AM MST

Phoenix Platoon

Event overview

We will be celebrating Juneteenth with staff from the Tiger Mountain Foundation, local residents, and volunteers. Building two picnic tables will be one project. We will also assist with a variety of tasks necessary to keep the garden fully functional and producing a bountiful crop. There will be a DJ playing music and plenty of opportunities to dialogue, learn, and grow personally.

Be prepared to get dirty weeding, watering, planting, and possibly building planter boxes, among other things.

There are restrooms in the Senior Center, which is next to the parking lot. The staff advises anyone going to the restroom to go in pairs.

There is no drinking water source on site, but water will be provided.
