The conservation corps is a team of out-of-school youth who are trained in landscaping and gardening in order to develop marketable skills while improving the appearance and productivity of Hartford&#8217;s green space. Programs involving the Green Crew include Hartford Blooms, a collaboration with the Greater Hartford Arts Council; creation of community gardens; and maintenance of public spaces such as the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theancientburyingground.org\/\">Ancient Burying Ground<\/a>, as well as other beautification projects.<\/p>\n<p>So if you&#8217;re going to be beautifying your home&#8217;s landscape in the upcoming weeks, why not support a great cause in the meantime?
