Join PP&R for a family-friendly park stewardship day!
Help us install native, and pollinator-friendly plants at one of the park's garden beds to support biodiversity and attract beneficial pollinators like bees, butterflies, and birds.
This is a great opportunity to learn more about gardening, native plants, and to connect with your neighbors and community. Open to all skills, paces, and abilities, no experience is required to participate.
