KENSINGTON COMMUNITY GARDEN CLEAN-UP

Kensington Community Garden Clean-up 
Saturday, July 20th and Sunday, July 21st
9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
 
From Frankie Iozzio, an ISA-certified arborist:

Hello all, & thank you for your interest in the Kensington Community Garden Clean-up!

We will be hosting a community volunteer day at 487 Ocean Parkway on Sat 7/20 & Sun 7/21 from 9am - 2pm. 


We hope you can join us! You can RSVP here :)


Come stop by to:

  • tame some mugwort, 

  • sort through debris,

  • attempt & fail to uproot some bamboo, or 


if none of that sounds appealing, just stop by to say 'hi!' & see the space for yourself & help us imagine future offerings/programs! If you can't make it this time, don't worry, there will be more events to come! 


While it might not be much to look at right now, the space is a blank canvas in a time when creative solutions are our best strategy to mitigate the effects of climate change; so much the better if these strategies are community driven, and all the better if like-minded individuals & organizations join together in recognition of the power these marginalized spaces hold for reversing environmental & social inequalities. 


Through our joint efforts, we can recreate a model of community activism that seeks to educate, advocate, and mitigate the negative consequences of climate change in our urban setting as well as strengthen the network of activists that promise to carry on the continued care of our environment & our city for future generations. 


We will provide sunblock, bugspray, & refreshments, you just need to bring yourself and comfortable working shoes! If you have a favorite pair of gloves, bring ‘em!


Feel free to reach out with any questions, & looking forward to working together!

Best,

  –frankie Iozzio
