Sept 28th
We are looking for volunteers to help plant an Educational Garden at the Outdoor Classroom Base Camp at Mohawk Park. Pollinator gardens are an essential part of our ecosystem and these educational gardens can demonstrate the interdependent nature of food ecosystems and the services that pollinators provide to humans.
🌿 Event Details:
- Date: Saturday, September 28th
- Time: 9AM -11AM
- Location: Base Camp Mohawk Park: 4218 Choctaw Dr. Tulsa, OK 74115
🎒What to Bring:
Don’t forget to bring garden gloves and a trowel, but extras will be available. Also, sunscreen and insect repellent are recommended for volunteers.
🌺 Planting the Future:
We’re thrilled to provide a variety of perennials and native plants, including swamp milkweed and common milkweed, elderberry, solidago, and many more. These plants have been carefully cultivated and are ready to find their new home in the park.
🌞 Beat the Heat:
Considering the heat of the summer, we’ve chosen September 28th for our planting event. This decision ensures optimal conditions for the plants and volunteers alike, making the experience more enjoyable for everyone involved.
🌳 Reviving Our Parks:
Due to recent storms and park closures, our gardeners have been diligently working to clear debris and prep the grounds at various locations, including Outdoor Classroom Base Camp at Mohawk Park. Our efforts are driven by the desire to refresh the parks and bring new life to these spaces that have been patiently awaiting a makeover.
🌱 A Helping Hand:
We need your support! Friends and nature enthusiasts are invited to join us on September 28th to plant these wonderful additions to our park. Your participation will play a significant role in fostering a healthier environment for both our local flora and the monarch butterflies that rely on these plants.
🏡 Plants in Safekeeping:
Until the event day arrives, our plants will be securely housed in our facility’s hoophouse. We’re taking every measure to ensure their safety and readiness for their new home in Outdoor Classroom Base Camp at Mohawk Park.
Let’s come together as a community to make a positive impact on our parks and local ecosystem. Mark your calendars for September 28th, and let’s create a brighter future for Tulsa Parks! 🌼🦋
