Opportunity:

Fall clean-up of the Joe Parks Riverwalk Public Gardens Great team building opportunity

Description

Situated along the banks of the Cocheco River, the Riverwalk Garden forms a series of connected spaces filled with wildflowers, unique rhododendrons, mountain laurels, hostas, daylilies, and countless other plants — many relocated from Joe’s own gardens.


Planned by Dover horticulturalist Joe B. Parks, built by more than a hundred volunteers, and dedicated in June 2008, every inch of this garden was made and continues to be maintained by people who love it.
