Excelsior Commons Adopt A Garden Planting Day
Come and help prepare the soil, dig holes, water, weed, mulch and plant behind the Ball Fields Garden. We have two new Garden Captain Volunteers (Jule and Mary) who have been working to gather momentum and plants to make the sloped garden area a more beautiful place for everyone.
Date - Saturday, September 12
Time - 9 am to Noon
What are we Planting? This may change by September. Our goals is to plant responsibly meaning Right Plant in the Right Place along with a benefit to nature and requiring minimum resources.
Date - Saturday, September 12
Time - 9 am to Noon
- At 9 am, we will do introductions, have a brief garden tour, review the objectives and then break into small groups.
- What to wear: dress for the weather. We will work in a light drizzle but will update folks the day before.
- Please bring: water bottle, your favorite shovel, rake, gloves And sturdy shoes as this area is slightly sloped. Bring a large shovel if you can as we are planting in areas that are highly established.
- COVID Details: Please wear a mask to this volunteer event unless you can truly stay 6 feet apart. This may or may not be feasible. Please be considerate of others comfort levels with the virus. I will be wearing a mask as gardening is also a beautiful and social activity. I think we could all use a bit of Community.....
