May 12 Monday
Help bring back the floral beauty we look forward to seeing on our summer walks, drives, and events in downtown Kalamazoo. There are numerous community planting days throughout May. With double the number of flowers to plant compared to last year, lots of volunteers are needed to get the work done in the few short hours each day.
Volunteer for any amount of time you can give. Signing up in advance is encouraged, but you can also show up on the day of planting. For all of the dates, times, locations, and details on where to park and check in, they can be found on SignUpGenius, https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080C4BA8AD2DAAF49-55696108-2025#/
Gardening experience is not required, and supplies will be provided if you don’t have your own gloves, trowel, or kneeling pad. Beverages and snacks will also be provided. Planting happens whether it rains or shines or is hot or cold. Dress for the weather.
These spring planting days are the perfect opportunity for bonding, team building, and meeting new friends.
