Tulip Plant II – Sat. Nov 20th
As you have seen in previous post we had a great turnout of volunteers planting today. We are now at 50% planted!
Tulip Plant II will be this Sat. Nov 20th
If you would like to volunteer…we will meet in the church parking lot at 11:45am.
Please come prepared to work in the dirt, eg with gloves, kneelers, and trowels. If you have a bulb planting tool please bring it too. Safety-we will supply reflective safety vests and will be working in daylight. Exposure to road traffic is mostly crossing the road to get to the roundabouts.
These are nice activities to meet your neighbors and help make your Lakemoor Hills even more beautiful.
