About this Event
Celebrate Earth Day in North Richmond!
Join The Watershed Project (TWP) to plant native plants in the newly renovated Shields-Reid Park! As part of the statewide Outdoors for All initiative, this park was redesigned with input from the community and includes features that neighbors most wanted, including an outdoor stage to host North Richmond’s historic blues music festival, and a bike pump track to help local youth try out their bike skills. Learn more about this great project here.
TWP worked with the community to design and install a large pollinator garden and bioswale to create beautiful year-round native flowers to keep our pollinators and community happy. To complement the large native plant garden, we will be planting a selection of herbs and edible native plants in raised beds for anyone in the community to harvest and enjoy.
Activities will include a workshop about how to identify native plants in your community, and a hands-on planting in the garden itself. This planting event will start at 9:30 am and finish up around 12pm.
All ages welcome, and gloves and tools will be provided.
What to bring:
- Clothes that can get dirty.
- Long pants.
- Closed-toe shoes.
- Sun/rain protection.
- Water bottle.
This Project is jointly funded by the City of Richmond and Contra Costa County
