We will be planting flowers, weeding, pruning, fixing irrigation, installing some solar landscape lighting, spreading rock and more. Volunteers of all skill levels welcome! We would also love any donations of gift cards to local businesses (like Greenhouse Garden Center, Evergreen Genes, Lowes, etc) so we can purchase flowers, plants, irrigation supplies, soil, etc.
