The Environmental Enrichment Program (EEP) is hosting a kick-off meeting and first garden work party - families and kids are invited! These are fun weekend morning events and we'll have snacks and coffee. Get your hands dirty in our gardens! EEP manages the green spaces of our school: raised beds, trees, and plantings. This will be a special year as we work to make our campus a friendly habitat for monarch butterflies! No experience or equipment necessary! Come for all or part of the morning; at 11 am on this first meeting we will transition from working in the gardens to discussing plans for the year. An rsvp is appreciated, but not required. **If volunteers are able to bring the following, it would be helpful--but please feel free to show up with none of these! * Wheelbarrows for moving mulch and compost around * Large totes and buckets (for storing and moving compost) * Shovels for moving compost/mulch and for digging out weeds * Hand clippers (for vines) * Loppers for small tree branches *
