Thanks to Rhonda from Roni Sue’s Chocolates (the BEST Chocolates!) reaching out to the SDR Coalition with her friend Dani’s offer of plants and a cherry tree we now have new plantings and plantings have a new more public life!
Thank you Rob, Chao, Erika and Jasmine for schlepping!
*Remember there is a very big fine for taking plants from a public park.
It has long been against the rules to collect or destroy plants in the city’s parks, with potential fines of $250
M’Finda Kalunga Community Garden:
This Saturday (5/22) from noon to 4pm with the help of Partnership for Parks, we will be hosting It’s My Park Day!
On this day, we come together to celebrate our park and work together. Partnership for parks is donating mulch, plants, and bench paint. Now, we need your help!
Come by anytime to help with:
Bob, Nora, and Jasmine will be around to supervise and assist volunteers. If you don’t know what to do – look for one of them.
In addition, Penny will be giving a compost demonstration.
I would also love it if you could send me photos to post on our social media and/or to send to Partnership to thank them for their donations.
Thanks in advance!

Great read.
NYTimes “Life, death, renewal and social media ensued.”
“The saga of Billy and Lilly, two red-tailed hawks that Mr. Palma Mir named after his parents, is one of regeneration and joy, with a tinge of sadness and some dead rat carcasses.”
