This community event aims to gather volunteers to help prepare the committee’s plant garden for the upcoming growing season.

Volunteers will meet at Service Ontario, located across from Foodland, at 9 a.m. The day will focus on revitalizing and maintaining the garden. Tasks include picking up recycling and litter, weeding and removing dead plant material to ensure the garden flourishes throughout the season.

“We're thrilled to invite members of our community to join us for a couple of hours of rewarding work in our native plant garden,” said Bruce, Lakefield Trail Stewardship Committee member. “It's a great opportunity to give back to our environment and make a tangible difference in our community.”

Participants are advised to dress according to weather conditions and to bring gardening or work gloves. Additionally, volunteers are encouraged to bring their favourite weeding tools, loppers, shovel, rake and kneeling pads if available. Extra tools will be provided on-site for those who need them.
