Join neighbors for the Gateway Park clean up on Saturday June 8th
Did you that that there is a community owned and managed park, right here in Montlake?
The Gateway Parks (at the southeast and southwest corners of Boyer and 24th Ave) belong to the Montlake Community Club and are maintained by community volunteers for the enjoyment of the whole Montlake community. If you haven’t had a chance to visit them, take a walk to check them out!
Volunteers are needed to help with Spring maintenance in the East Gateway Park, including weeding, pruning, battling the left-over bluebells, trimming back the daffodils, cleaning up the steps, and getting the corner behind the orange fencing back to looking decent. If you have some free time between 9:00 am and 1:00 pm on Saturday June 8th, your help would be appreciated! Bring garden tools and work gloves if you have them, though some extra supplies will be available if you need them.
The upcoming work party is a great opportunity to meet your neighbors and to learn more about the wide variety of native plants in the East Gateway Park. We hope to see you there!
