Garden Day - Palm Bay

About the event
MRC aims to implement sustainable, Low Impact Development practices at the Ted Moorhead Lagoon House in Palm Bay, Florida. One of the cornerstones of this sustainability goal is the rain garden and native plants. At our Garden Day, volunteers will help with routine maintenance of our rain garden and native plants around the Lagoon House campus. In addition to priming native plants for a successful spring, rain gardens help filter stormwater run-off before entering the Indian River Lagoon, helping to reduce nutrient pollution.

What will volunteers do?
Volunteers will assist with weeding, repotting, planting, and maintainence of the Palm Bay Lagoon House.

What will volunteers need to bring or wear?
Volunteers should be prepared to be in the Florida heat and humidity. Hats, water, sunscreen (or UPF clothing), and close-toed shoes are required. Gloves, shovels, and kneepads are available but feel free to bring your own from home! There is a bathroom, water fountain, and building with AC on site for breaks.
