Community Work Day at the Native Plant Garden in Kirk Park

TIME: 9am
VENUE: Kirk Park Native Garden

*** Special event!!! ***
Come help plant two new native oak trees!

The city will be providing us with trees in 15-gallon pots and three 8-foot tree stakes for each tree. We will need to dig large holes, plant according to detailed instructions, and pound the stakes into the ground with a special tool. We would love to have your help!

Volunteers meet at the garden on Saturdays from 9 AM to 11 AM, weather permitting, for weeding, watering and other maintenance activities. Occasionally there will be other tasks such as mulching and planting. Community volunteers, including families with children over 6, are always welcome! First-time volunteers will need to fill out a form from the City of San Jose available at https://lakecunninghamnativegarden.files.wordpress.com/2022/01/2021-volunteer-service-agreement-adoptapark-version.pdf

Wear a hat, gloves, and sturdy garden shoes. Bring plenty of fluids and hydrate often.
