Operation Clean Up kicked off its 2020 Season in partnership with DIVAS for Social Justice. Both organizations serve as stewards to the newly minted Garden Of Resilience . Garden Of Resilience is supported by Greenthumb. Community residents planted flowers beds in front of the community garden to commemorate the start of the growing season.
15 volunteers weeded, turned soil and started building a tool shed for the community garden.Garden Of Resilience also received an outside Black Lives Matter Banner designed by Collin Gayle and printed by The UPS Store on Merrick Boulevard as a gift to the space.
