On September 21, children partnered with their parents and caregivers for National Cleanup Day to clean up around the Garden Club of Jacksonville campus, and along Post Street and Riverside Avenue towards Memorial Park.

Through their efforts, they were able to collect three large trash bins with of litter. Wow!

National Clean Up Day, held every third Saturday in September, encourages country-scale organized and individual cleanup events and volunteering to keep the outdoors clean and prevent plastic from entering the ocean.
