Job description
Join us for this planting workday where we will be adding native plants to the pond in West Park. We plan to plant along the shoreline and within the bottom of the pond. We’ll use a new, fun way of planting aquatic plants where we wrap the roots of the plant with a biodegradable sack holding a rock and then toss the plant into the water. The rock will let the roots sink down where it will take root. Bring sturdy boots or tall rubber boots, if you have them, but we will be able to plant by standing on dry land.
