NATURE PARK GARDEN PLANTING

NATURE PARK GARDEN PLANTING

Meet at the Kiwanis Nature Park to help with some Spring effort in the pollinator garden. We will have 50 small plants to put in the garden. That is the main focus, getting those babies in the ground. Maintenance and weeding comes second. Bring your shovels, work gloves and sunscreen. We have an auger to help with digging if needed. This should be a fun and productive activity for all ages.
