Cincinnati Parks staff is looking for some help to plant 1000 perennial plants at International friendship Park (IFP)- on the riverfront.
IFP is about 3 miles from campus, a 10 minute drive, 30 min bus trip.
Volunteers will use hand trowels or shovels to dig holes and plant perennial plants (native plants that grow back or remain each season). There are ONE THOUSAND buckets, we need your help!
Volunteers should be prepared for the weather (lightweight clothing), wear long pants. Close-toed and sturdy hard sole shoes are required. Recommended: Work gloves (if you own them), sunscreen, face covering and a refillable water bottle. There will be work gloves available to borrow and a water cooler will be provided on site for volunteers to refill bottles. Cincinnati Parks discourages single use plastics.
