About 300 volunteers built a new playground and a community garden today. By 2pm, volunteers and workers from Home Depot, KaBOOM! and the Church Hill community built a new playground, 16 garden plots, three compost bins, an arbor, a community bulletin board, blackboards, and a kids’ teepee, and installed new garden beds.
