FAMILY-FRIENDLY Earth Day at Fresh Pond: Think Globally - Lend a Hand Locally!
Volunteer event & DIY Seed Bomb Session
Friday, April 22nd, 10am to 11:30
A volunteer event perfect for both kids and adults! Come help remove garlic mustard, an invasive, non-native plant that crowds out native plants and puts toxins in the soil that inhibit native seeds from sprouting. Fortunately, it’s easy to recognize, easy to pull, and edible! No experience necessary! All tools are provided; long sleeves, pants and a water bottle are recommended.
In addition we invite you to help sprout wildflowers all over Cambridge by making “seed-bombs” out of compost, clay and seeds! Take them home with you and spread throughout town. Native wildflower species are not only beautiful, they also provide nectar and seed for wildlife, and reduce erosion. Please RSVP to fpr@cambridgema.gov for meeting location and parking information.
