Native Plant Garden Phase 2 Planted!

On Saturday, September 9, 2023, the gardening ladies (plus Liam) of the Northwest Neighborhood took to the dirt and planted the new phase of the native plant garden planting day at Drew Nielsen Park.

Take a look next time you walk or cruise by the park. It is delightful.

We are so grateful for the support the neighborhood has shown by contributing funds, and time, and supporting Mother of All Garage Sales in 2023.

Major kudos to our immediate park neighbors, Northwest Chair Holly James, and Jenny Gialenes, for keeping us on track and getting this done. Also, thanks to Brad Chenoweth from Everett Parks for stewarding our project at the city.

WE DID THIS!
