  • Pollinator garden work party

    Featured
    Hayward Community Gardens Apiary 24919 Whitman St, Hayward, CA, United States

    Join us for some light gardening labor, enjoying the time outdoors and each other’s company. Heavy rain cancels.

    Phil says: Weed wack, pull weeds, water, chit-chat, plant some new ones, pull some old ones. Now is the key time to set the tone for the garden for the year.  No new weeds will sprout up and new plants will have a good chance to mature. Bring any new plants you want to contribute. Bring your gloves, and your favorite implements of destruction.  I'll try to predict your needs and bring a truck load of tools.
