 The LSC hosts periodic plantings and we need your help: We hold cleanup/planting days on Saturday mornings about every two months to make sure we are clean, well planted, weeded and beautiful. See our current schedule below. And please sign up for our newsletter so we can remind you when to come out. We always have snacks, water and garden tools. Please bring your gloves (if you forget, we can lend some). Also, don't forget that our Saturday cleanup days are a great opportunity to put a group together from your workplace. And, as a 501(c)(3) non-profit, we can grant public service credit -- so bring the kids! For more information or to volunteer, please contact us. In the meantime, enjoy and use the park. Please remember to use our doggie bag stations at each corner and please bring a bag and pick up trash when you are walking through the park. Cleanup/Planting Day Schedule
