Description

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 friendsoffreshpond@yahoo.com for parking and meeting directions.
