Tasks:

· Finish expanding new garden areas by laying concrete blocks and filling with soil.

· Clear restoration areas and plant new native species.

· Fold garden bed silage tarps.

· Spread mulch around food forest and rain gardens.

Other Details:

· Youth under the age of 15 must be supervised by a parent or guardian.

· This event will happen rain or shine, so please dress appropriately with closed toed shoes/boots, layers for the weather, and clothes that can get dirty.

· Please bring a refillable water bottle - we will have a cooler available onsite.

· Washed gardening gloves will be provided; however, please bring your own if possible.

Paradise Parking Plots Community Garden is a project of World Relief Western Washington. In 2017, we began transforming an underused parking lot into a thriving garden with 50 growing beds, raingardens, a bioswale, and food forest. It is a place where refugees, immigrants and local community members can gather to grow culturally-appropriate foods that promote a healthier lifestyle, improve food access, foster economic independence, and build community.

Thank you for your help in continuing to build and improve our shared space!
