Martin Luther King Jr. continues to inspire communities with the work he did over half a century ago. In his honor we will be making seed balls with native, pollinator friendly plant species that can be planted during spring in areas lacking vegetation. Dress for a mess. Please bring an egg carton to transport seed balls. Registration is required and begins on 12/1.
