Grow Not Mow Planting Event

Grow Not Mow Planting Event
Saturday April 11, 2026, 10:00 am to 1:00 pm

Meet at Grow Not Mow Site 3
Shaker Blvd & Warrensville Center Rd
Shaker Heights, OH

We are calling for volunteers of all ages to join us in planting more native trees and plants and removing invasives at this site adjacent to the Doan Brook. We will be planting 15-21 native species of trees and many native plants. All volunteers should come dressed for the weather. 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!

Grow Not Mow is a community program powered by volunteers like you and championed by the City of Shaker Heights. With this program, we hope to restore and enhance biodiversity in the floodplain of the Doan Brook to make it a better habitat for pollinators, wildlife, and people while also reducing the land area that is mowed. Our plantings will also help to absorb, filter stormwater runoff and prevent soil erosion, and reduce the greenhouse gas emissions associated with mowing.
