South Park Community Gardening: Why You Should be Interested

       It started with Earth Day. How can YOU save the earth from climate changes and create a beautiful place to live? One way is to plant – plant a tree, plant flowers, plant anything green. Trees and plants are miracle workers – they clean the air, reduce pollution, provide oxygen, cool down neighborhoods, filter water by removing pollutants, absorb sounds and reduce noise pollution, boost mental health with a drop in anxiety and depression, and create a beautiful space. There is no downside to planting!

         And that is why you should be interested in community gardening. That is why you should join your neighbors and South Park Neighborhood Association (SPNA) in community gardening. We are gathering South Park neighbors interested in community gardening to add more green, upgrade tree wells, provide dog-friendly areas, and adding beauty to the neighborhoods.

         The gardeners have completed their first walk-about to assess the neighborhood. Plans are being formed. Come join us! Email spnadtla@gmail.com and let us know you are interested in creating a healthier and more beautiful neighborhood. Green is a beautiful color!
