ORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 Pine Hills residents spent part of Saturday planting trees and tending garden beds during a volunteer effort aimed at growing more than fresh produce.<\/p>\n

The Community Garden Volunteer Day brought neighbors together at the Pine Hills Community Action Center, 6408 Jennings Road, to refresh a shared space that has served the neighborhood for more than two years.<\/p>\n

The event, a collaboration between Orange County and local nonprofit Ideas For Us, focused on planting new trees, refreshing raised beds, expanding pollinator habitats and improving soil health.<\/p>\n

The work also gave residents a chance to connect while caring for a garden that provides fresh produce and serves as a gathering place.<\/p>\n

Located in front of the community center, the Pine Hills Community Garden is part of the center\u2019s broader efforts to support community healing and strengthen neighborhood connections. <\/p>\n

Other initiatives include youth mentorship programs and life skills training.<\/p>\n
