18th Wonder - Community Garden Clean-up and Kids Zone Reset
United Way of Berks County

From 09/10/2025 to 09/10/2025

Join us as we reset the kids' play zone and community garden.

1 -Wood chip in the kids’ Play area- Using the provided Wheelbarrow and tools, the volunteers will move the Donated Wood chips to the back area of the garden, the kid's play zone. All wood chips should be raked and spread over the entire area.

2- Create a stone border around the herb garden.  Using the provided gloves, the volunteers will spread out landscaping fabric to create a weed barrier and move small stones and create a border around the already existing herb garden.

 

3- Manage Compost – Gardens often create a significant amount of lawn waste, which we recycle by turning it into compost. To ensure the compost remains healthy, it requires continuous management. This means that the organic materials need to be flipped and moved monthly. Volunteers will be provided with the necessary tools to turn and move the compost pile. Adding this compost to the garden will introduce helpful bacteria, which can improve food production and reduce expenses.
