Alfred States Community Garden has partnered with The Center for Civic Leadership to revive Arbor Day celebrations!  Tree-themed Alfred State shirts will be sold for $15.00 at the Campus Store to help us fund our celebrations. Proceeds from shirt sales will support Arbor Day funding, helping us purchase fruit trees, which will be planted near Alfred States Community Garden for present and future generations to nurture and enjoy.  Help us plant roots for the future and support us through the purchase of these shirts and mark Arbor Day (April 25th) on your calendars so you can join us for our tree planting ceremony and garden party (more information to come). In addition, if you are looking for a way to volunteer in lead up to the event, our Community Garden Coordinator is looking for volunteers to help spruce up the garden in time for spring plantings throughout the month of April.   

Should you have any questions or want to get involved, please reach out to Tom Kacalski (KacalsTD@alfredstate.edu) or Cyan Corwine (corwincy@alfredstate.edu)
