Do You Love to Garden?
Do You Want to Make Mount Clemens a More Beautiful Place?
Can You Give a Small Amount of Your Time? Sculpture Walk Project Looking for Volunteer Gardeners
Macomb Cultural & Economic Partnership (MCEP) is proud to coordinate this year’s 7th Annual Sculpture Walk project. We currently have 10 micro gardens started and we are looking to enhance the surroundings at additional sculptures with addition of micro gardens where none exist. The micro gardens will only happen with the help of community gardeners.
MCEP is searching for volunteer gardeners or would be gardeners who would help create/tend to a micro garden near a present sculpture or at the site of new sculptures placed in October 2024. Volunteers can work solo, team up as a family, or share the fun with a small group of friends. You will self-schedule your 2 hours per week commitment to the project.
You pick the micro garden spot from the choices available and MCEP will work with each individual volunteer or small group to plan and create the micro garden. Plants for the plan will be provided. We will look for drought resistant, native, and easy growing choices.
- Are you interested buy lacking the tools needed? We have a store of small garden tools that can be borrowed and returned each week to the MCEP office and will be coordinated with your schedule.
- Never done this before? We can train you in what needs to be done and work out a plan for those willing but need guidance.
We hope you will consider being a Friend of Sculpture by getting your hands a little dirty and helping us make our community a more beautiful place to live in, work and visit.
Have questions before you decide? Give the office a call at 586-783-6608, or email mcep99@gmail.com
