The Western Pennsylvania Conservancy is seeking volunteer garden stewards for its community garden in Shippenville, Clarion County, at the intersection of State Route 66 and U.S. Route 322.
After its 132 community gardens are planted each spring, the Conservancy relies on a dedicated group of volunteers, called garden stewards, to give regular attention and care to these gardens. Stewards work during the spring and summer months to keep the gardens healthy and blooming into the fall.
Individuals, community groups or businesses interested in volunteering to steward this garden should contact Lynn McGuire-Olzak at (412) 586-2324 or email her at lolzak@paconserve.org.
Matthew Wagle of Wells Fargo Advisors is the financial sponsor of this garden. His generosity makes it possible for the Conservancy to purchase the flowers, mulch and water to help establish and sustain this colorful and attractive garden.
Local businesses, companies, foundations, organizations and individuals interested in sponsoring a community garden should call (412) 586-2312 or email jholmes@paconserve.org for more information.
