Bridget Carey, a C3 trainee, has partnered with Walker Branch Library to create a native garden. The goals of this project are to establish a community group that will oversee the garden, and teach the community about the benefits of native plants. We also want to educate the community about water conservation and pollution, stormwater management, and the importance of green gardening.
There will be an informational meeting at the library (11071 S. Hoyne) on Wednesday, May 23, from 7 to 8pm. The first planting day is scheduled for Saturday, June 9, from noon until about 4. Everyone is invited to attend either or both events. For more info contact Bridget at 217-549-3554 or b.carey.82@hotmail.com.
