Join volunteers from Watertown Community Gardens in maintaining our public gardens, which support native bees, butterflies, birds, and more.
We will start each maintenance day by taking a close look at the gardens, to see which bees and other wildlife might be living there.
Fall garden maintenance activities may include planting new plants, weeding, pruning, adding compost, mulching, etc.
Any participants under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the event.
Location:
We will be meeting at the DPW first, and sending a smaller team to the Knowles Delta after group introductions and instructions have been reviewed.
