This event is open to the public.
Ready to dig in? Grab a shovel — we have a unique opportunity to plant a community Tiny Forest!
Join us on Friday, June 20th from 5 PM –7 PM by the new Westboro Beach Pavilion for a community planting event!
Thanks to the generous support of the Josette Robertson and Joan Johnston Family Foundation, community volunteers are invited to help plant 300 native plants in a 100 m² Tiny Forest that will grow to provide a range of benefits for community members and native species alike!
No previous planting experience is required — we’ll provide all the tools and guidance you need! This is a family-friendly event, providing the perfect hands-on learning experience for individuals, groups, and children of all ages! We encourage early registration to ensure a smooth planting event.
