Greenspace
The Greenspace Committee focuses on removing litter, promoting our gardens & parks, and monitoring bike paths.
Community Gardens
In addition to the Lowe’s Garden Center and Harold’s Indoor Outdoor Plants, St Roch has several community gardens.
A community garden is a piece of land gardened or cultivated by a group of people individually or collectively.
Community gardens not only create green spaces, they also create social spaces for neighbors to meet.
