High school students gathered together on Tuesday to help clean up a popular park in Hendersonville.
Future Farmers of America classes from three Henderson County high schools partnered with Henderson County Parks & Recreation to beautify Jackson Park.
It’s a partnership spanning years between the school system and county.
On Tuesday, their main goal was to plant, sweep and pick up around the park to keep it nice for the community and learn about firsthand agriculture maintenance.
“Just trying to teach them how to plant shrubs, how to plant garden stuff around," Parks & Rec Director Bruce Gilliam said. "They’re going to own homes one day, so we’re excited to be a part of it with them."
They plan to eventually hit all the parks in the county and work on beautifying them as well.
