Tree Planting

Hello Fellow Tree-huggers and Wrigley Gardeners-

If you would like to volunteer for this the hours will count toward your volunteer hours. Please let us know if you will attend with us. The more the merrier. See details below. Thank you, Sasha

Wrigley is Going Green! and the Wrigley Garden in conjunction with Southern California Edison, the City of Long Beach, Office of Sustainability and the neighbors of Taper Street and Fashion Avenue are planting 40 trees on April 24, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. We will meet at 1315 Taper Street (Northwest corner of Taper Street and Fashion Avenue--see map attached or link at bottom of email).

In preparation of the tree planting, we will be pre-digging the holes Saturday April 17th at 10:00 a.m.

Please bring a shovel and gloves to both events.

Volunteer for one or both events!

Feel free to contact Wrigley is Going Green with any questions.

Hope to see you there.

Best,
Lisa Wibroe, Mauna Eichner and Lee Fukui

1950 and 1960 Henderson Avenue, Long Beach CA

The Wrigley Community Garden is located at 1950 and 1960 Henderson Ave. This two year project will help in the transformation of Henderson Avenue. We will teach these and other residents basic gardening skills that can be applied to grow their own food here in the demonstration garden and later on in their own homes.

Our mission is to aid in the continued transformation of the Henderson Avenue neighborhood. Our vision is to create a positive, unifying element to a block previously blighted with drug trafficking.
