Our Goal:
To establish attractive, well-designed plantings (whether actual meadow mix or just wildflowers) that target grass lawn with a plan for maintenance and long-term sustainability. Volunteer led, implemented, and maintained with a commitment to community involvement and neighborhood leadership.
October 2024 Update:
Thanks to everyone that showed up on Saturday 9/21 for our work day. It was a long day and a lot of work but also a success and something to really build on as we tend to these new gardens next spring. Below are some photos (courtesy of my friend Danielle – @pose_photollc on Instagram) and special shout outs as well. Josh from Parks has asked us if we want to help with re-doing the grass pits in Perseverance Park by removing the grass and re-seeding with meadow mix. This will happen on Sunday Oct 27 at 10am. Email kevin.race19@gmail.com if you’d like to help with that.
Special Shout Outs:

July 2024 Update:
We’ve created an outline of Loguen Park (below) that anyone can fill in with their ideas of future meadow areas, amenities, paths, artwork, etc. Anyone who wants to draw their ideas on meadow and amenity locations, including their thoughts/notes, can then send it over to kevin.race19@gmail.com so we can incorporate your feedback.
Here are some photos of our progress at Loguen Park! We installed the gardens by this staircase.
