Thank you to the student volunteers and educators from Memphis Business Academy who helped maintain the pollinator garden at Shelby Farms Park yesterday! These hard-working young people mulched and weeded beds, cleared a greenhouse, and helped prep a new community space near the garden. Volunteering is a great way to build skills and give back!

We are so grateful for this amazing group of park adopters, who are the stewards of 56 parks in our city. They clean up litter, do light greenspace maintenance, and report issues in their parks. Last night they came together for our annual Adopt A Park meeting with City Beautiful, Memphis Parks, and Bloom, and we are delighted to recognize and support their hard work and commitment!
