Hillside Mini-Farm Day of Service

Written By Sarah Wilkinson

In July 2025, Groundwork RVA hosted a day of service with interns in the Mayor’s Fellow Program. The fellows toured the community garden located in Hillside Court, learned about food justice, and performed essential maintenance by pulling weeds around the farm's bioswale and raised beds.
