4/21 Update: Earth Day work day was a great success! Thank you to the volunteers who helped beautify the the Garden site.
Join us for a morning in the garden to celebrate Earth Day!
the Garden is hosting a volunteer workday April 20th to do the glamorous work of picking up trash and spreading mulch in our new trails through the site. We will also enhance the planting site near the the Garden sign with some new plants. This spring work is an opportunity to see the benefits of our January workday, to observe the park in another season, and to enjoy a morning with the birds and community partners in the park.
