Do you love Native Plants? If so, on Thursday, October 21st from 1-5 you could learn more by volunteering with the Arbor Lodge Tree Team and Arbor Lodge Association. We will be adding little labels to over 9,000 native plants at the parking lot behind Peace Lutheran Church, corner of Newcastle and Liberty. This is in preparation for the Plant Pick Up set for Friday and Saturday, the 22nd and 23rd.
We have been amazingly successful in this partner sale. Sparrowhawk Native Plants gives small non-profit groups - in this case our Arbor Lodge Tree Team - a percent of the sales from their pop up plant sales. In turn, we will use the funds to buy fruit trees and blueberry bushes to give away at our Brian Duncan Memorial Fruit Tree Giveaway next March. But, we need enough volunteers to be ready for the plant pick up days. Your help could make a real difference.
Come join the silly fun, learn to recognize more native plants, and support your local community.
