Olive Motherhood Foundation has recently taken over management of the Community Garden owned by the Williston Community Builders. We are looking forward to adding to the space, and making it so welcoming and beautiful! Please be patient with us as it is new to us! We plan to have volunteers on the property a minimum of 2 times per week. Please stay tuned for more updates, or opportunities to help us make the space even better!
