A Garden for Kukui Gardens
Honolulu, HI
Kukui Gardens spans roughly 9 acres near Honolulu’s Chinatown, providing affordable housing for families. Resident Services’ programs for residents are supported by partnerships with organizations and school service-learning programs. These include an assortment of literacy programs for all ages. However, Kukui Gardens has no community gathering space. Join us in launching a garden for education, resilience, and - above all - community-building. We will also help residents with the potted plants around their units. You may be digging, lifting, moving heavy objects, and more.
(25 participants maximum)
Participants will be outdoors for 1.5-2 hours with some shade in the area.
