For 100 years, the Franciscan Monastery’s greenhouse has nurtured vegetables and herbs to feed the friars and community in need. We are excited to renovate the historic greenhouse and double our annual food donations to the D.C. community! Click here to find out how you can support our restoration efforts.
Join us on Sunday, June 24 from 10am-1pm to prune the orchard trees! Volunteer activities will include pruning and weeding fruit trees and adding mushroom mulch to tree trunks. We will meet at the greenhouse in the morning.
