The Covey at Gillam Park

Little Rock Garden Club will build on the club’s collaborative work on the Covey at Gillam Park, an innovative partnership of diverse community groups and professional agencies working together to restore 7.5 acres of a thirty acre oak savannah on the Little Rock Audubon Center campus. LRGC will work side by side with the ACCESS Life young adults to collect, clean, store and plant seeds to restore the native open habitat of the savannah. The community served, Granite Mountain, is an underserved historic African American community in Little Rock. Gillam Park was the first public park in Little Rock accessible to the Granite Mountain community prior to integration. This project started as a P4P project and has continued to grow.
