STEWARDSHIP EVENTS AT SPRING GARDEN PARK
Sign up at the link to join us! Everyone is welcome and no experience is necessary. This is a great way to get outside, enjoy nature, and help care for your local park. Volunteers will be working in the garden beds and along the soft surface pathways, sometimes on uneven ground. Tools, gloves, and project instructions will be provided. These events are family-friendly, and all ages are welcome to participate. However, children must be accompanied and supervised by an adult for the duration of the event. We encourage you to attend with members of your household/family!
