Good Karma Gardens November: Baldwin Hills Part IV

Hi Good Karma Crew! We are back with another work party!!🌱

This month we are putting the finishing touches on the Baldwin Hill’s community garden. Over the past few months we have worked to transform an apartment complex front lawn into a thriving food forest and community space and planting out tons of native plants. This weekend we will be tearing out the last remaining grass and installing natives and food produce plants.

We'll need all the help we can get and are so stoked to see you out there!!!!!🧑‍🌾🧑‍🌾🧑‍🌾🧑‍🌾🧑‍🌾🧑‍🌾

So clear your Saturday morning plans and come out to Baldwin Hills (bike or metro if you can)

Make sure to bring comfortable clothes, sun protection and water, we'll provide food, beverages, and entertainment! 🌞

Can't wait to see you all there!!!!!!! 🐛🐜🐞🐛🐜🐞🐛🐜🐞🐛🐜🐞🐛🐜🐞🐛🐜🐞🐛🐜🐞
