Volunteers gather on Wednesday and Saturday mornings, from 9:00am until 11:00am. We announce which garden we’ll be working on the day before each gathering, so check this page to see where we will be meeting.
Wednesday's greening (7/23) will be weather permitting -- if it's raining, we won't meet. If the weather permits, we'll meet at the Gratitude Garden next to City Hall, for weeding and deadheading.
Saturday's greening (7/27 from 8:00am to 10:00am) will begin at Trolley Triangle at 8th and Emory. From there, we'll continue to the Boat Launch Garden on Main Street and 7th Avenue, and wrap up at the Rose Circles in Library Square Park on Heck and 1st avenue.
Wednesday's greening will begin at the Carousel View Garden on Lake Avenue (the most "Easterly" garden on the Lake!) and move westward. We'll be weeding (nut grass and Mugwort!) and head heading.
Saturday's (August 3rd) greening will begin at the Seagull Garden on Lake Avenue. From there, we'll continue our weeding and pruning at the Pollinator Garden (also on Lake Avenue) and finish at the Civil War Garden (on Grand Avenue).
Wednesday's greening (8/7/24; 8:00am to 10:00am), we will be meeting at the Civil War Garden and possibly the Rainbow Bridge Garden afterwards.
Saturday's greening will take place in a new garden for our group (our 26th!) -- we are taking over the care and maintenance of the garden at the corner of Cookman and Grand Avenue.
Wednesday's ESTC Greening (8/14/24 - 8-10 AM) will begin on Lake Ave next to the Children's Garden replacing dying or dead perennials.
Saturday's Greening (8/17, 8:00am) will take place in the green area east of the Paddle Boat launch on Lake Avenue. We'll be clearing tall weeds from existing shrubbery, and planting new perennials in their place.
Wednesday's APESTC greening (8/21, 8:00 am - 10:00 am) will be similar to what we did on Saturday. We'll be clearing the area west of the Paddle Boat launch of weeds, and preparing it for new plantings.
Wednesday's Greening will begin at the Gratitude Garden and move eastward beginning at 8:00 AM.
