Japanese Garden & Trail
Team Lead: Jeff O'Connell (joconnellphd@gmail.com)
The volunteer crew usually works on Wednesday mornings, 9:00 to 12:00, from April to mid-November. Our goal is simply to make the garden look a little better. To that end, we pick-up storm damage and litter, trim shrubs, prune trees, and remove invasive species, such as bittersweet, knotweed, and multiflora rose. On occasion we will plant new trees or shrubs.
