Celebrate Earth Day by getting your hands in the earth!
Saturday, April 21, 2012, 9:30 a.m. to noon
Davidson Middle School Garden, 280 Woodland Avenue, San Rafael
Spruce up the vegetable beds, plant summer crops, and tend the urban forest and wetlands. Projects vary from light to vigorous, as you wish. Projects include: planting seeds, removing weeds, turning compost, upgrading fences around fruit trees, and other acts of care.
Remember to bring a hat and other sun protection, and to wear close-tied shoes and layers for changeable weather. Bring your gardening gloves and a favorite tool (clippers, trowel, handpick) if you have. A water fountain is nearby. No single-use plastic water bottles, please!
