The Lincoln Parks and Recreation Department is looking for volunteers to help “Put the Beds to Bed” Saturday morning at Sunken Gardens at 26th and “D” Streets.
Registration is not required and there is no limit to the number of volunteers who can help. The event will get underway at 8:30 a.m. After the annual plants have been removed by staff, volunteers will dump a fresh layer of compost into the beds and hand spade the soil.
If you plan on attending bring gloves, a shovel or spade and dress in layered clothing that may get dirty, including heavy-soled shoes. The work is not recommended for children younger than age 13.
if the weather is bad the event will be rescheduled for Saturday, November 13. Those who would like to be added to the RSVP list for the event should contact Zac Halley, Public Gardens Volunteer Coordinator, at ZHalley@lincoln.ne.gov.
