Landscape Face Lift @ Lambert House (age 12+) *Stand Together Week*
Volunteers will choose one of several stations. They will be weeding, planting numerous plants around the property and laying mulch. They will be planting both in the ground and in pots. We will focus on planting natives plants and removing invasive weeds so Lambert House can complete our backyard habitat certification through the Audubon Society as a result of this volunteer project.
