Join the Her–King Alagantic Community Garden group and GreenThumb staff for a volunteer day on the 2026 Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service!

If you would like to celebrate the holiday giving back to the community and learn about how you can become a community gardener, please join us!

Note: Some tasks may involve lifting heavy materials and extended periods of bending, squatting, and moving. Weather date if event is postponed -  January 24th from 11AM – 3PM.
