Tools and gloves will be provided\, but if you have a favorite shovel\, please feel free to bring it along! Families and volunteers of all ages are welcome! \nGrow Not Mow is a community program powered by volunteers like you and championed by the City of Shaker Heights.

Our plantings will also help to absorb\, filter stormwater runoff and prevent soil erosion\, and reduce the greenhouse gas emissions associated with mowing. \nRegister at https://dbwp.org/event/grow-not-mow-2/ \n
