Today South Jersey Service Learning took a trip to one of New Jersey’s hidden gems, Camden’s Children’s Garden. While there, the team met the enthusiastic staff who is ecstatic for their opening Saturday. The volunteers from MFS assisted with various tasks such as raking, collecting trash, and planting flowers throughout the garden. While working, we learned about the hard work the staff puts into maintaining the garden and how hard they fight to keep it open. We also received a tour of the facility, viewing the dinosaur garden, reading nook, and storybook land to just name a few attractions. MFS was happy to help the wonderful people at the garden prepare for their opening. We hope that they have a successful season and that you all visit this beautiful site this season.
