Pull invasive plants at Jericho Park in Vancouver BC

Some quick notes

Please bring gardening gloves if you have them. Please bring your own water. Wear comfortable shoes or rubber boots that you don't mind getting dirty. COBS Bread on 2837 West Broadway is generously donating some goodies for you to eat! If you are late look for a "Lower Mainland Green Team" sign near our meeting spot and follow green arrows. There is no cost in participating in a LMGT event once. However, bring $5 if you plan to participate in LMGT events regularly. It's good for one year. (your organizer is a volunteer too and incurs event related costs) Directions

We are going to meet at the end of Point Grey Road just west of the Jericho Tennis club. For those driving, there is free diagonal parking just before the main parking lot.
