Topic: Kids in the Garden-Grow Native!

9 NATIVES BOARD

• Discover why native plants are so important to have in your garden
• Learn about the different types of native plants
• Learn where to find native plants
• Make a seed ball with native seeds to plant in your garden at home.

10:30 AM – 1:00 PM: 2 slots

1:00 PM – 3:30 PM: 2 slots

Backup – 1 slot

We’ll have two shifts per Saturday and two people per shift to share duties. We are also asking for one backup for each Saturday workday (to cover either AM or PM shift). If everyone who is trained could sign up for one shift per quarter, we can make this outreach opportunity a success for our TMNCPC!
