As a site that is nearly as old as the city itself, Oakland is an educational canvas where students can engage in the history of Atlanta, while also reflecting on their roles as citizens within the fabric of the city. Oakland is filled with stories, some tragic and others inspiring—but all of which we can learn from. Join us for our educational programming this summer including eight summer camp sessions for kids 6-11 (registration open now) and Juneteenth Family Festival on Saturday, June 14! 🌳☀️🏕️ (fb)

Grateful for the wonderful volunteers from Wounded Warrior Project who joined us yesterday to prep garden beds in the historic African American burial grounds alongside Oakland horticulturist Janna. 💚🌱 Thank you for your hard work and generosity! “Maintaining Oakland’s gardens wouldn’t be possible without our incredible volunteers, and we’re always excited to welcome more! Whether you’re an experienced gardener or trying something new, you’ll learn about horticulture and help beautify a historic place that means so much to many.” - Gardens Volunteer Manager Erica Glasener Interested in individual or group volunteering opportunities at Oakland?
