Last week, we celebrated Earth Day with a hands-on project right here in New Britain 🪴🌎

In partnership with and , we built 15 garden boxes and 4 benches that will soon be filled with herbs, flowers, and vegetables. These spaces will support programming at CCARC in New Britain and the Hess Center in Berlin, creating opportunities to grow food, learn new skills and connect with nature.

We can’t wait to see these boxes come to life 💚
