The garden committees

Many garden members have stepped up to help shape the garden's future. MPCG is fortunate to have so many talented, resourceful, and enthusiastic individuals willing to lend a hand.

Here are some of the committees established to support the garden:

  • Steering Committee: Guides the garden's future through collective decision-making and consensus among its five members.

  • Volunteer and Outreach Committee: Manages onboarding, recruitment, coordination, education, communication, community events, and promotion to foster engagement and support for the garden.

  • Native Plant and Pollinator Committee: Creates habitats to attract pollinators and increase biodiversity within the garden.

  • Soil and Compost Committee: Promotes soil health and composting, advises on resource acquisition and use, and manages organic waste, mulch, and dirt.

We want to spotlight everyone involved in these committees and their spectacular specialties. Many committee members have overlapping tasks, so the best way to do this is with a photo gallery, tagging members on their various committees and interests.

A big thank you to all our committee members for their help and dedication! Select the images below to learn about our volunteer committee members.
