Description

Join us for a Planting Party

Join us for our MLK Day of Service in Gallagher Hill Open Space for a day of planting.

This will be a great chance to learn about local gardening and native plants, all while building a healthier ecosystem.

We will be planting in both Gallagher Habitat Garden and Gallagher Hill Open Space.

 We are scheduling to Saturday 1/20 due to extreme weather conditions on 1/13

  • Where: Gallagher Hill Open Space off of Shorewood Dr
  • When: Saturday 1/20 10am-1pm
  • What to bring: Dress for the weather in clothes you don’t mind getting dirty (think: long pants, boots or sneakers). Bring a water bottle. Snacks, gloves and tools will be provided by Mercer Island.
  • Directions: From N Mercer Way- turn up Shorewood Drive. Follow Shorewood Drive and take a right on W Shorewood Dr, follow the loop to E Shorewood Drive. Look for the "P-Patch" Sign. You can also access Shorewood Drive from 88th Ave Se or 90th Ave SE.

Get Connected Icon Q: How will you raise awareness of - and reflect on - the role of racial and social justice within the volunteer project?
A: We will talk about environmental justice, and talk about how communities are impacted differently by climate change. As we do at all our events we will acknowledge the indigenous land we occupy and talk about the history of the land we are on.
