“I volunteer because I need garden therapy! Back when I lived in the Philadelphia suburbs, I had several gardens and helped with the community garden. It’s nice to get outside and garden! I feel that this is a nice nature center to support because of the programs.
I appreciate the nature around me when coming here and seeing woodpeckers and hearing the sounds of the environment. My family went camping and traveled when I was a kid. I came to appreciate nature through those experiences.
Everyone is very friendly and doing good work and that’s what I appreciate about the Fern Hollow community. After I volunteer here, I feel good. It gives me good exercise and time out in nature. It’s very peaceful and calming.”
