About this Event
Join The Watershed Project on Saturday Dec 05, 2026 from 9am to 12 pm to plant native plants in our community pollinator garden and our bioswale!
Volunteers will learn more about native pollinator plants, and about how we use green infrastructure to collect and filter stormwater runoff and make our local waterways healthier.
This event is a great opportunity to connect with neighbors, and no experience is necessary - just bring your enthusiasm! See you there ~
