Planting Party at Leslie Groves North
Join us in
planting ~450 plants native plants grown by a 4th grade class at Wiley Elementary School (West Richland) from seeds they harvested at Leslie Groves North (LGN) last winter.
All are welcome to this community planting event!
When:
Sunday, Nov. 9, from 1 PM until about 3 or 4 PM
and
Saturday, Nov. 15, from 1 PM until about 3 or 4 PM.
Meeting place:
Leslie Groves Park at the east end of Snyder St., at the bike path (in Richland). Please sign in at the table (we’ll have liability waivers).
What to bring:
A digging tool – a small trowel works best since the plants are in 5” deep containers. We’ll have a few extra tools and will supply the water needed for planting.
Dress for the weather. Also recommended are:
gloves (that can handle getting wet and muddy)
drinking water – long pants closed-toe shoes (boots are best);
knee pads can also be useful.
If you can, please RSVP to Debbie Berkowitz at lcbas.secretary@gmail.com so we have an idea how many plants to bring for each day’s planting – and also so we can let you know if there’s a change in plans for a particular day. We’ll be planting rain or shine as long as it’s not pouring and the winds aren’t blowing a gale.
