Carbon Roots is collaborating with the Elizabeth Street Community Garden to integrate carbon-sequestering elements into an already thriving community space. This project will demonstrate how carbon sink principles can enhance existing gardens, expanding their environmental benefits while involving and educating the local community.
The Keyport Community Garden Partnership showcases a practical and collaborative approach to climate action. By introducing carbon-sequestering plants into an established garden, we aim to enhance the garden's ecological impact and inspire residents to implement similar strategies in their own backyards. Volunteers will support garden design, planting, and ongoing care to maintain a vibrant, carbon-absorbing space.
We're seeking community members with various skills and interests to help make this project a success. No prior experience is necessary for most volunteer roles - just enthusiasm and a willingness to learn!
This project will also feature community workshops focused on carbon gardening techniques, empowering residents to create their own small-scale carbon sinks at home.
Through hands-on learning opportunities, educational signage, and community events, we'll help Keyport residents understand the importance of carbon sequestration and how they can contribute to climate action through gardening practices.
