HORTICULTURE STUDENTS NEEDED! We are seeking horticulture students, landscaping pros, or other volunteers who are skilled and knowledgeable about yard maintenance.
Emmaus Homes provides support services to nearly 300 clients in St. Louis, St. Charles, Franklin and Warren counties. Our clients live in homes in the community; we currently have about 80 homes.
Our facilities team is responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the landscaping and lawns at all of our homes, and we are seeking help with redesigning the landscaping so it is more economical and requires less maintenance.
Do you have landscaping knowledge to share? Are you a horticulture student in need of a service learning project? Use your skills to help benefit adults with disabilities in your community!
Contact for more information about this opportunity.
