Vegetable Gardens - Villa Maria School

We have a few vegetable gardens around Villa Maria School. Students grow seeds and young plants in the greenhouse. Plant into garden beds. And tend plants through a outdoor, Earth Science classes. Volunteers can help with watering and weeding to more skill-intensive projects. The fences were assembled by volunteers!

Courtyards - St. Vincent's Villa

We are fortunate to have these spaces in the midst of our residential treatment center, and we rely on volunteers for their care. Three of our smaller courtyards provide a view of bushes, seating, planters, and pathways, but quickly become messy if not regularly tended. 

All of these garden and courtyard spaces provide opportunities for respite and therapeutic recreation, but they also provide a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere to those on campus.

Window Washing
 
The corridors of St. Vincent's Villa are glass, which provides a lot of light and visibility. Volunteers can help us keep the spaces clean and bright. 
 
Adopt a Garden/Courtyard

Ideally, we're looking for groups or individuals who might "adopt" one or two courtyards to steward on a regular basis.

Needs:

  • Weeding.
  • Trimming and pruning bushes and shrubbery.
  • General maintenance: walking stones, planters, etc.
  • Creative ideas for developing the spaces!

We have most of the equipment you might need, including gloves, weeding implements, and shears.
