Sprucing up the gardens
Kudos to our Leadership Rochester 2020 Service Team for their help with weeding and cleaning the community gardens at the M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence. The center hadn’t had volunteer groups in since pre-COVID and needed assistance getting the gardens operational.
The M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence is a local nonprofit that equips people to use nonviolence to create a sustainable and just world for all. The Gandhi Institute collaborates with local organizations, academic institutions, students, and committed peacemakers in the following areas:
-Nonviolence Education
-Environmental Sustainability
-Restorative Practices
-Racial Justice
The community gardens are adjacent to the house on South Plymouth Avenue and provide homegrown fruits and vegetables for local residents.
