This October, our teammates in Phoenix had the opportunity to volunteer with Keep Phoenix Beautiful at their community garden off Pierson Street. We helped with some beautification projects around the garden so the community can enjoy it!

The biggest thing is to make make a positive impact on our environment and communities and give opportunities to preserve wildlife. There’s wildlife that we don’t’ know maybe living in these vegetation, maybe causing a ruckus for the people here. We get in her to clean it up, make sure these people are safer in these areas. To coincide with he wildlife because they were here before us.

Garden Clean Up

A canal runs along the garden. Recently, there had been a lot of rain, and the grass in the canal was very long. They haven’t been able to cut it down. Our team hoped to clear out the canal. We needed to rake and bag the cut grass too. The rain would have swept the clippings to the drain which could have caused flooding in the neighborhood.

Garden Bed Clean Up

Keep Phoenix Beautiful has been managing this garden for nine years, and these garden beds have been there since then! In fact, these beds made the trip from the original location down Indian School Road!

We repainted these garden beds to brighten the garden and prepared them for the schoolchildren who come to the garden once a week. We also helped reorganize their shed and created soil for gardening.

We are proud to give back to the communities we serve and grateful to everyone who helped make Phoenix a healthier place for people and wildlife. Small actions, when done together, can create lasting change. Our teammates are committed to continuing efforts like these and look forward to future opportunities to protect both the environment and the people who call it home.
