And, the outcome will provide a regenerative green space - as seen on the corner of Chapel & Stanley - that reduces your carbon footprint, nurtures food security

Incredible Edible Merchantville invites you to help us get ready for our 150th and Memorial Day celebrations in Wellwood Park by joining friends and neighbors to clean, refresh and showcase this beautiful green space in all it's natural beauty! Grab your rake and broom, put on some gloves and meet us on Saturday, May 11th from 9:00-11:30 a.m. at the Wellwood Park Gazebo.  A park that is clean and well-maintained offers a safe and enjoyable place for people to visit for hiking, picnicking, sporting activities, or just relaxing
