Thank you to everyone who joined us and got their hands dirty! Our pollinators will soon appreciate it! 🐝 🦋

Today, we traded concrete for wildflowers.🌼
Thank you to everyone that came out and helped us plant seeds in a raised bed that was built over the concrete slab where the park pass box used to stand. It’s one of many small steps towards bringing life and color to this space, while also protecting and providing for our pollinators.
If you helped today, thank you! If you didn’t get to, we will doing more in the weeks to come, and we’d love to have you then! 🌱 Check back in with us for updates on today’s flowers and their progress
