Twin Ponds Work Party Sunday, April 19, 2015

9:30 am to 11:30 am

Earth Day is April 22. To celebrate, the Parkwood Neighborhood Association and Stewards of Twin Ponds Park will host a spring work party in Twin Ponds Park on the preceding Sunday. The work will consist of removing ivy and planting an assortment of native plants purchased at Kruckeberg Botanical Garden, courtesy of the Shoreline Parks Department. The party will meet at the entrance of the park on Meridian Avenue North (15200 block) by the Trail of Cedars sign (see photo).

Please bring your own gloves. If you have them, a trowel and a pair of pruners or loppers will come in handy. Children are welcome, but they need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian. If you have questions, please call Yoshiko Saheki at 362-0149.

Spring is a wonderful time to enjoy a walk down the Trail of Cedars. Hawthorne, hazelnut, Indian plum, thimbleberry, salmonberry, currant and many other shrubs and trees are developing leaves and helping to turn the park green at eye level. Join us in celebration and community on Sunday, April 19, 2015 at 9:30 to 11:30am.
